EHPA: “It was minus 30°C in Finland – the heat pump worked fine”

Unexploded bombs, invasive plants, ancient castle walls and a harbour full of fish are not what you’d expect a new heat pump project would have to deal with.
 
But for Hugh Thompson, project manager with Vital Energi,  all of these issues came up around a water source heat pump project in Bristol, UK.
 
The project faced multiple planning and construction challenges. These ranged from the extremely constrained site – which meant they could only carry out one operation at a time – to the archaeology of the historical area.
