A new project brewing for ECS in Burton upon Trent

ECS Consultants are currently undertaking the upgrading of heating systems within the Octagon Shopping Centre in Burton upon Trent. The shopping centre boasts retailers ranging from restaurants and food stores to fashion and entertainment. To avoid inconvenience to both retailers and customers, these works will be undertaken overnight during the summer.

Home to eight breweries, Burton upon Trent became a centre for the brewing industry due in part to the quality of the local water, which contains a high proportion of dissolved salts, predominantly caused by the gypsum in the surrounding hills. This allowed a greater proportion of hops, a natural preservative, to be included in the beer, thereby allowing the beer to be shipped further afield.
