Tubular gas heaters for Go North East's Riverside bus depot, Gateshead

The job

Bus workshops are tall, open buildings with large roller doors, so warm air from conventional heaters rises into the roof or escapes every time a door opens. Tubular radiant heaters work differently: they heat people, floors and vehicles directly underneath them, which keeps the working area comfortable without trying to heat the whole volume of the building.

We are fitting four units at high level, above the bays where the depot's technicians work on the buses.

How we're doing it

Our engineers are working from scissor lifts, high above the bays of a live depot, with double-deck and single-deck buses parked around them. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are handling the gas supply and commissioning, with the work planned around the depot's day-to-day operation.
