Turnpike Depot –
Salford City Council

In a comprehensive initiative led by RPS and commissioned by Salford City Council, the Turnpike Depot underwent a transformative upgrade, focusing on the integration of Low Carbon Heating Systems alongside significant Building Improvements.
 

With a portfolio exceeding 170 properties, Salford City Council took a decisive step by declaring a Climate Emergency in July 2019, setting an ambitious goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2038.

Nestled within a bustling industrial park, the Turnpike Mess Rooms stand as a detached, single-story building, originally erected in the 1950s and later extended on either side. The building serves dual functions as a transport office and recreational room for transport drivers.

Turnpike Depot is a key component of the Salford City Councils Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme 3, aimed at revamping heating systems across its properties.


Project Highlights:
  • Removal of existing gas boilers and replacement with new Mitsubishi CAHV ASHPs

  • Removal and replacement of existing pipework and radiators – chosen for their compatibility with the ASHPs

  • Installation of a new Building Management System – enhancing operational efficiency through remote monitoring and verification

  • Upgrade to electrical mains and distribution boards – to better accommodate the new ASHPs
