Royal Liverpool University Hospital
- Non-Residential
- Carried out in United Kingdom in 2026
- Product(s) used: ICS 5000
- Healthcare/ Hospital
This project centered on the installation of a sophisticated exhaust network for the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. The facility relies on heavy-duty Cummins generators to maintain power during emergencies. The scope involved engineering a durable flue system that could handle high-temperature output while integrating into technical service ducts. It was finalized as a key part of the hospital's infrastructure.

Challenge
The primary hurdle was the need for a high-pressure system that could be installed rapidly without compromising safety. In a hospital setting, failure is not an option; the venting had to manage significant thermal expansion while providing lateral strength. Furthermore, insulation needed to be continuous to prevent heat transfer, all while ensuring the system was easy to drain and maintain over long-term operation.
Solution
The ICS 5000 system provided the perfect answer. It features an innovative sleeve joint with integral pressure gaskets and locking bands, allowing for rapid assembly. This multi-functional system ensures insulation continuity and protects the outer pressure seal. With an inner liner designed to expand freely and a reliable condensate drain-down, the ICS 5000 delivered a high-performance success for the project.
The Customer
Crown House acted as the lead construction contractor for this landmark healthcare development. Tasked with delivering a high-capacity, state-of-the-art facility, they required a partner capable of supplying precision-engineered venting for the hospital’s critical infrastructure. By choosing Schiedel, Crown House ensured the project met the strict regulatory and performance benchmarks necessary for a major public medical center.
