Boiler Installations
Commercial boilers produce the hot water or steam that hospitals, hotels, schools, laundries, kitchens and factories depend on every day. A boiler plant is more than the boiler itself: it includes the burner and fuel supply, feed water treatment, pumps, safety and control valves, flues, distribution pipework, insulation and the controls that keep it all within safe limits.
Trident Plumbers Limited installs boiler plant together with the hot-water and steam distribution it serves. We size the system to the facility’s real demand, install it with the safety devices and access needed for inspection, and support the owner with commissioning, statutory examinations and routine maintenance. For hot water where the sun can do part of the work, see our solar water heating systems.

Typical buildings
Standards and good practice
We install to the project specification and to the codes and regulations it calls up. On boiler work these commonly include:
- Kenya OSHA 2007
- Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007: requirements for steam boilers, steam receivers and air receivers, including examination by an approved person
- BS EN 12953
- Shell boilers
- BS EN 12828
- Heating systems in buildings: design of water-based heating systems
- Manufacturer requirements
- The boiler and burner makers’ installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
The governing standards are set by the project’s mechanical consultant and the occupational safety authority; we install to them and provide the records needed for inspection.
How we work
A clear process, start to finish
Brief and site visit
We review your drawings, specification or bill of quantities and, where needed, visit the site to understand the building and how it will be used.
Design and proposal
We size the system, select equipment to the specification and give you a clear, itemised quotation.
Approvals and procurement
Shop drawings and material submittals go to the consultant for approval before materials are ordered.
Installation
Our own crews install the works, coordinated with the main contractor and the other trades on site.
Testing and commissioning
Every system is tested and commissioned, with results recorded and witnessed by the client or consultant.

FAQ
Boiler Installations: common questions
Yes. We can supply the boiler, burner and associated equipment to the specification, or install equipment that the client has already procured.
We work from the facility’s hot-water, heating and steam loads, peak periods and any planned expansion, and allow for standby capacity where the service is critical.
Often, yes. We plan the changeover around the facility’s operations, prepare the connections in advance and agree the shutdown window with you before work starts.
Yes. In Kenya, steam boilers and other pressure vessels must be examined periodically by an approved person under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. We maintain the plant and support the owner during those examinations.
