Building-services provider JS Wright has won a contract worth over £3.5 million for a striking new riverside development in east London.

It includes a CHP energy centre for the scheme of six blocks, which replaces an aging 1970s housing estate, for developer Hill.

Services include a heat interface unit in each apartment with pre-payment meter to deliver boosted hot-water services.

Other services include heat-recovery ventilation, underfloor heating, LPHW heating and domestic hot- and cold-water services for all apartments, which will be managed by East Thames Housing Group.
