Pampisford Hall- Case Study

Project Overview

The project at Pampisford Hall involved the installation of an open loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) system, utilising a 71-meter abstraction borehole. This open loop system draws water from the borehole to provide efficient heating and cooling for the hall.

Installation Details

• Type of System: Open loop ground source heat pump (GSHP)

• Depth: 71 meters

• Purpose: To provide groundwater for the open loop GSHP system

Project Execution

• Drilling Process: The borehole was drilled to a depth of 71 meters to access groundwater, which would be used as the primary source for the open loop GSHP system.

• System Setup: The groundwater is pumped through the GSHP system, where it transfers heat to or from the building, depending on the season, before being re-injected or discharged appropriately.

• Lining and Casing: Appropriate lining and casing were installed to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the borehole and to prevent contamination of the groundwater source.
