\n

The East London District Energy Scheme was opened in 2010 ahead of the 2012 London Olympics and comprises two interconnected energy facilities at Kings Yard and Stratford, plus 18km of pipework.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two energy centres were designed and built by ENGIE on behalf of the Olympic Delivery Authority and Stratford City Developments Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kings Yard energy centre is one of the largest combined cooling, heating and power generating facilities to have been built in the UK, and was designed to provide sustainable energy generation during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the western perimeter of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it now supplies power to the area\u2019s sporting venues and also to the developments in Hackney Wick and Fish Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King\u2019s Yard Energy Centre incorporates a 3.5MW biomass boiler, which uses locally-produced woodchip fuel from a sustainable source within 50 miles of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nearby Stratford energy centre provides heating and cooling to Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, one of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe, and has the capability to supply energy to further residential and commercial developments in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features two combined heat and power (CHP) engines, an absorption chiller and two dual fuel boilers which can use renewable plant-oil fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainscreen cladding and fa\u00e7ade engineering specialist James and Taylor was commissioned to install cladding on the two energy centres, and chose The Expanded Metal Company\u2019s architectural meshes for the two projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We manufactured and supplied bespoke building cladding meshes in weathering steel and corten steel for the two energy centres and more of our expanded metal mesh cladding can be seen on the exterior of\u00a0Westfield Stratford City<\/p>\n\n\n\n
