Clydebank Energy Centre is a facility housing district heating equipment to serve the new Queens Quay residential regeneration area in Clydebank.

The new building houses heat pumps extracting heat from the River Clyde, as well as gas boilers and distribution pumps. Goodson Associates undertook Structural and Civil design for the project.

The building comprises a steel portal frame superstructure, with piled RC foundations. Foundations were co-ordinated in detail with the proposed plant arrangements to give the most cost-effective solution.

An internal mezzanine was provided to maximise available floor space, with the internal arrangement being closely co-ordinated with the energy plant.

A double height glazed screen with feature cladding surround forms the interface with the public domain on the Clyde waterfront. Storm water is routed directly into an existing surface water drain, eliminating the requirement for on-site attenuation tanks.

A new access route for maintenance and plant replacement was formed using a Grasscrete construction to minimise visual impact and maximise the green space on the site.
