Local Authority
Working in Partnership
Panks Contracts Department are proud to have worked in partnership with the key local authorities including Anglian Water, across the entire Eastern region, helping to keep local people warm and safe for over 100 years.
From a small scale domestic boiler to an entire district heating system in a hospital, medical centre, hospital, care-home, school or prison ….. no job is too big or small for us. For all mechanical and electrical work, solar-generated power, ventilation or air-conditioning requirements we are on hand to help. From clean water systems to sewage pumping stations – we design, specify, supply and install the whole package.
Energy Efficiency
Here at Panks we work hard to keep up-to-date with developments in both technology and governmental recommendations or legislation regarding energy efficiency. As a full Anglian Water MEICA partner, (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Controls and Automation) in industrial equipment systems, we fully understand the need to reduce your carbon footprint and meet health and safety requirements in line with the Environmental Agency guidelines.
Our dedicated in-house Energy Engineer can assess the performance of your existing systems or plans and will work with you to find the best solutions for improvement. We can overhaul or upgrade all mechanical, electrical or water related components to ensure energy efficiency gains are made. Our drive is to find the best practice for your systems and we will work with you to achieve that goal.
Investing in newer and better motor technology can prove beneficial for both the environment and government institutions across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Health & Safety and Legionnaires
Let us take care of your concerns regarding health and safety by eliminating and significantly reducing potential hazards. Our UV sterilisation plants will do away with the risk of bacteria-borne diseases in ornamental water features or water play equipment. Our Hot Water Services flow and return work circulates water above 60 degrees, avoiding deadlegs and the risk of Legionnaires. Our flexible service and health checks ensure your systems are working efficiently and don’t let you down.
Share your duty of care with our accredited NICEIC and Gas Safe engineers, who you can trust to conduct rigorous tests of your equipment in line with current legislation. If you have a concern or query, do not hesitate to get in touch and we will do our best to help you.
Our Heating Engineer can assess the performance of your existing systems or plans and will work with you to find the best solutions for improvement. We can overhaul or upgrade your heating systems to ensure maximum efficiency gains. Our drive is to find the best solution for your requirements, be it a small scale project or district heating.
We work with biomass, oil or gas-fired boilers and the environmentally friendly combined heat and power systems. All our boilers meet the latest Building Regulations minimum efficiency standards.
For your comfort and internal climate control we offer a range of cooling and ventilation systems, from small domestic split systems to fully ducted commercial installations. The systems come with adjustable temperature controls and variable speed drives so you can set comfortable levels whilst and conserve energy.
For greater sustainability some of the units have an air source heat pump fitted with a heat exchanger which can then be used to heat water for your building.
Rest assured our experienced engineers and installers will work closely with you to deliver the best system for your need.
Our electrical engineers install field wiring, test and upgrade mains. All work is NICEIC accredited in-house.
Solar Energy
For the latest in solar power systems for water heating or generating electricity, we can supply and install the current technology. Whether a small or large scale installation, from a solar-powered pond pump to solar-powered multi kilowatt panels for a renewable energy source, we guarantee you energy efficient returns and a reduced carbon footprint.
For greater control over the quality and quantity of water you use and an environmentally friendly and economic solution, consider a private water supply.
A groundwater abstraction system, or borehole, can provide you with greater freedom to use water how you choose, whenever you choose, without the concern of rising costs or hosepipe bans. Up to 20,000 litres of groundwater per day can be used – free of charge.
Panks has the local knowledge and experience and of installing borehole water supplies across Norfolk and Suffolk for many years and will drill the borehole and install the entire package in-house. We can supply groundwater to your systems at whatever pressure you require.
After passing through a filtration system groundwater can be utilised for washing, flushing or irrigating or, if used in conjunction with one of our water treatment plants, it can be supplied direct to your taps as potable, or wholesome water.
We will work direct with you to assess your site specifications and determine the best solutions. Or we will work with pre-determined specifications provided by outside agencies. We listen and are flexible to your needs. Our prices are competitive, and most importantly, our work is quality.
As a planned maintenance contractor for Anglia Water we know our way round the majority of mains sewers in the eastern region. If a mains sewer is not an option and cannot provide the answer to your waste water and effluent disposal – one of our packaged pumping stations can.
For an environmentally friendly – and free – source of water, we can collect surface and rainwater from your roofs and guttering, filter it and store it underground holding tanks. Then it can be pumped it into your systems for washing, flushing and irrigation, at whatever pressure you require. Again, we can assess, size, specify, supply and install the entire package.
A further benefit of rainwater is it provides a softer, chemical free alternative to mains water and is therefore kinder to your plants and systems.
Our experienced engineers offer expert advice on the best water pressure boosting options, no matter what the building or situation.
At Panks we supply and install pressure boosting pumps and systems across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. But we also listen. We will work with you or other agencies, to find out how much water is required and at how many litres per minute. Then we will do the water pressure calculations – and find the most efficient and effective solution.
At Panks our credibility is our reliability. Our drive is to find the best practice for your systems.
We offer service contracts tailored directly to meet your requirements; from 12 monthly or more frequently if, for example, you need reassurance that your systems will continue to work smoothly throughout the winter months.
And our pumps service and repair department is available 24/7 so you can be rest assured you won’t be left stranded if something does go wrong. Our engineers can offer an initial assessment over the telephone and if required, will then visit your site in the shortest time possible. We always aim to resolve a problem as quickly as we can.
