Delivery of chimney flue

In June 2021, we saw the delivery of a 38m tall vertical chimney flue structure, split into three large sections, as part of our Energy Centre project.

Every boiler, combined heat and power (CHP) unit and generator across the hospital site will be directly connected to this flue structure, which has various control methods for reducing the emission levels we release into the atmosphere. This will support our journey of carbon reduction by 2028.

Please see below picture gallery of the chimney flue arriving.
