Geothermal International: Mansfield Hospital

Brief

We were asked to produce a DVD of the installation of a ground source heating system at Kings Mill Hospital in Mansfield by Geothermal International. By filming various stages of the design, build and installation, the DVD will be used to showcase work undertaken by Geothermal and explain how the hospital system works. Video and graphics were used to explain the process with the addition of a scripted voice over and text inserts on screen.

Geothermal International is the UK’s leading specialist in ground source heating and cooling systems for commercial and residential buildings. The Kings Mill hospital project used a closed loop system using the nearby Kings Mill reservoir providing the optimum balance of maximum energy and with minimum environmental impact.

We filmed various stages of the build over a year long process, from the creation of slim jims (heat exchangers) to the operation of drilling under the busy A38 road to install pipe work from the reservoir to the hospital. The submersion of the heat exchangers was filmed and the final completion of the plant area was all recorded to document the build and installation of this flagship development. The Geothermal International scheme for Kings Mill Hospital is the largest of its kind outside North America.
