CASE STUDIES
We are proud of the work we do and here are a few of our proudest moments.
Steam Resilience at PHE Porton Down
Limburn successfully completed two critical steam resilience projects at PHE Porton Down, ensuring operational efficiency and safety. The works involved extensive modifications to steam headers, condensate lines, and asbestos removal while delivering the project within budget and on time.
We undertook two simultaneous projects at PHE Porton Down to enhance steam system resilience. The Main Duct and Service Floor projects required complex modifications to existing steam mains, condensate lines, and compressed air systems. Both projects involved licensed asbestos removal and careful coordination with PHE’s maintenance contractor for steam system isolations. The team managed to deliver on time and within budget despite challenges, including working around redundant pipework and navigating difficult access points.
By adopting innovative solutions like fabricating aluminum step-overs in-house, we achieved cost savings and faster delivery.
The Brief
To enhance steam resilience across two critical areas: the Main Duct and Service Floor at PHE Porton Down. Both projects aimed to improve safety, streamline steam distribution, and future-proof the infrastructure.
The Challenge
The main challenges included modifying outdated infrastructure under licensed asbestos conditions and coordinating with PHE’s maintenance team to manage system isolations without interrupting critical operations. Additionally, complex access routes for pipework installation required innovative solutions.
The Solution
Limburn provided an open-book, collaborative approach to these projects. By fabricating step-overs from aluminium in-house and managing the logistics of complex pipe runs, we delivered cost-effective, timely solutions. Our proactive team worked weekends and adapted quickly to emerging challenges.

Wonderful Service
Please thank Alan and the Team for carrying out the new Heating Installation over the last few weeks.
The building is definitely not a “normal” building, and the guys have equipped themselves exceptionally well, and I have had some very good feedback from the teams. We had received some great comments regarding site Security/Access. This was very well received and complements the tight Security measures which have been recently introduced.

Very swift response
Could you pass on the thanks for the 50 young people and my site crew for the very swift response to our boiler issue on site. The kids got to go rafting and have showers afterwards.
We’d like you to take on the servicing of all out kit on site, with the professional skills the team have displayed this would be great for us.

I would not hesitate to work with Limburns again
Limburns are a non confrontational contractor that put their energy into adding value to projects. They worked tirelessly to deliver the projects to a set time frame and budget, their staff are very experienced bringing knowledge and expertise to the team. Even at difficult times during the projects Limburns continued to work with the team going over and above what was expected of them.
Working in an open book contract you can see where all the costs are – Limburns only charged for their actual costs and nominal prelims, overheads and profit. The PHE appointed Quantity Surveyor ratified all their costs and demonstrated that the projects delivered value for money.
I would not hesitate to work with Limburns again – overall they work hard, deliver and are value for money.
