Engineers within the Estate Development Service (EDS) are responsible for the fixed electrical and mechanical distribution systems that supply the University’s campuses:

• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, including associated distribution networks and boiler houses.
• Hot and cold water systems.
• Sewage and drainage including associated pumps and tanks.
• Natural gas systems.
• Specialist systems including fume extract and compressed air.
• Electricity distribution – high and low voltage.
• Fixed electrical systems within buildings (lighting, power, alarm systems, access control, etc).

• Telecommunication and data systems.
• Lightning protection.
• Lifts including stair lifts and dumb waiters.

Within each campus, mains services including gas, electricity and water are supplied on private systems owned and operated by the University.

The redesign and replacement of these systems is captured within the capital development programme and long term maintenance plan in addition to energy reduction programmes. Please view the Combined Services Plan to see a plan of these services.
