Digging deep

When you need to find a significant amount of space in London’s Mayfair, you often need to dig deep to find the right answer. This was certainly the case recently for the 5-star Claridge’s Hotel whose original ambitious plan for a 2-storey extension, became a 5-storey basement challenge.

A development of this nature was always going to be complex. Added to this was the fact that this was happening underneath one of the most iconic hotels in the heart of London, that needed to remain fully operational during the build, and this was a whole new engineering challenge that demanded great ingenuity as well as the close collaboration of many disparate parties.

This included a wide range of Grundfos pumps and pumping solutions that are right at the very heart of operations, providing all the HVAC, water demands and all the necessary boosting to deliver the necessary optimal results.

Now complete the £35m project has been transformed into two new swimming pools, a spa area, restaurant, meeting rooms and additional service areas.

After so many years of believing that the sky’s the limit, this project has turned this concept on its head. To find out more about how Grundfos can help you with your everyday or exceptional new or replacement pump needs, visit www.grundfos.co.uk
