Hyndburn Leisure Centre

The Challenge

Hyndburn Leisure Centre, operated by Hyndburn Borough Council, undertook a major decarbonisation programme funded by a £2 million Salix grant, delivered in collaboration with Alliance Leisure and ISG. Hensall provided mechanical, electrical, and design services to integrate low-carbon technologies into an existing gas-fired system without disrupting operations, including two air source heat pumps, 652 solar PV panels, upgraded pool air handling units, new pump motors, and a fully integrated Building Energy Management System. The project required careful coordination of new and legacy systems within a live leisure environment, ensuring improved efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and continued reliable service throughout.

Our Solution

Hyndburn Leisure Centre was delivered by Hensall as a fully coordinated mechanical and electrical decarbonisation upgrade for Hyndburn Borough Council, focusing on integrating low-carbon technologies into the existing building without disrupting operations. The works included the successful integration of two air source heat pumps into the existing gas-fired heating system, alongside 652 solar PV panels, new Dantherm pool air handling units, and upgraded pool pump motors. An advanced Building Energy Management System (BEMS) was also installed to optimise and monitor energy use across all systems. Through careful design, coordination, and integration, the project delivered a more efficient, future-proofed leisure facility with significantly reduced carbon emissions while maintaining full operational performance.

“The team at Hensall has carried out numerous projects for Alliance – both in respect of decarbonisation initiatives, air source heat pumps, and full M&E solutions – for Alliance both directly and working with ISG.

They always deliver a quality project and are professional and easy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
