Bath Abbey AR

BuroHappold Engineering is working with Bath Abbey on the Footprint project – supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund – to replace flooring, upgrade the heating and refurbish vaults to create new spaces.

The Roman Great Drain, which carries 45°C spring water from the Roman Baths to the River Avon, passes close to the Abbey. The plan is to capture energy from the hot water in the drain, using heat exchangers, before boosting the temperature with heat pumps located in an expanded plant room in a basement vault within the Abbey.
