Oventrop - Oventrop Valves enter time & space in new Greenwich
Plantarium
Comfort conditions for visitors to the new Time
and Space project at the Royal Observatory, part of the
National Maritime Museum, Greenwich will be controlled
by Oventrop valves chosen by Inviron, the mechanical and
electrical contractors for the project.
Working in conjunction with Gardiner & Theobald,
construction managers for the £15m development, Inviron
installed heating and chilled water systems comprising
radiators and fan coil units in the refurbished 250-year
old, listed South Building and the newly constructed
Peter Harrison Planetarium.
Included in Oventrop’s supply were TRVs, double
regulating and isolating valves and commissioning sets
which are variously used on the radiator, fan coil and
air handling unit systems in both buildings. There are
two plant rooms, one in the South Building which has
been refurbished and houses new boilers and ancillaries.
The second is a new construction within the Planetarium
for the chillers and air handling units.
The completely refurbished South Building, previously a
Victorian observatory building, houses the Weller
Astronomy Galleries and Lloyds Register Education Centre
for children and adults. The new 120-seat planetarium
will use the latest technologically advanced digital
solutions to enable visitors to explore space. The
building itself takes the form of a bronze clad,
inclined, truncated cone shape tilted to 51.5 degrees,
the latitude of London, and pointing to the Pole Star.
It provides an iconic addition to the Greenwich
landscape.
