Titan Group
Overview
​
We were approached by Titan Group to look at a project in Stratford which was midway through completion. The site consisted of 180 apartments which needed the MBUS heat meters reinstated and network brought into operation with a local head end.
Titan were experiencing many issues with their network and were unable to rectify the problems faced.
​
Background
​
Upon inspection of the site the following issues were noticed and needed to be actioned:
​
-
Batteries on meters were very low or failing
-
The MBUS needed re-caballing to allow data to transmit back to the master
-
The hardware addressing of the meters themselves would not allow data to freely transmit and also caused network crashes
-
Some meters or probes needed reinstallation to allow the meter to operate
-
Some Meters were not sealed
-
No head end in place and needed to be installed and set up
​
Solution
​
​
-
First of all we needed to put a plan in place to logically address the problems with the meters and network which had to work in the following order:
-
Batteries needed to be replaced
-
The addressing needed to be reinstated according to our MBUS re-addressing plan
-
Probes and flow sections need to be checked and rectified
-
Meters then needed to be checked commissioned and sealed
-
The master unit needed to be fitted into the basement to allow reading of the meters
-
Set up of head end on local PC (this is generally not advised due to the potential of data loss) but was insisted on by the client
-
Commissioning, handover and training of the system
​
​
Cost Benefits
​
​The client now has the means to bill all the tenants within the development to accumulate a revenue in excess of £80,000 per annum with a reliable and fault free system.​
