A New Chapter for LUSH: Factory Relocation with Spirax Sarco’s Advance Design Service
Through an existing service agreement, Spirax Sarco learned of LUSH’s plan to relocate their Hamworthy factory to a new, centralised manufacturing site in Poole. This required a new steam and condensate infrastructure to support the production heating vessels, aligning with LUSH’s sustainability and safety goals. Here’s how Spirax Sarco partnered with LUSH to deliver a state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant steam system.
MEETING THE DEMANDS OF A SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE STEAM SYSTEMThe LUSH team, while well-versed in steam design thanks toprevious training from Spirax Sarco, sought additional support due to limitedin-house resources. They were particularly interested in the peace of mindoffered by Spirax Sarco’s Advanced Design Service to ensure regulatorycompliance and best practices.
Tailored Solutions for a Greener, Safer Future
Customised Design Service
Spirax Sarco conducted an initial site survey and consultation, resulting in a tailored design package focused on sustainability, safety, and steam engineering best practices.
