NEW eco-friendly social homes for rent in Denbighshire are to be heated by warmth stored 450 feet deep in rocks laid down 350 million years ago. The first new homes built by the Council in Denbighshire for almost 30 years are being erected by Brenig Construction at Tan y Sgubor, off Henllan Street, in Denbigh, and will be among the ‘greenest’ in Wales. The 22 properties will feature sophisticated insulation and heating drawn from deep underground where the limestone, dating from a time when the area was a warm tropical sea, is at a constant 12C. Brenig have had nine boreholes drilled by Kensa Drilling, each between 400 and 450 feet deep but just a foot wide and housing pipes filled with a mix of water and anti-freeze feed heat exchangers which do the rest, raising that temperature to a perfect 22C in the houses with water heated to 60C. ....

A BUILDER has an order book bulging with £60million of work including plans for 300 new homes over the next four years. Mochdre firm Brenig Construction has doubled its turnover in the last 12 months to over £20 million and are currently working on sites from Bangor to Winsford in Cheshire. It is a rapid rise for the firm founded by joint managing directors Mark Parry and Howard Vaughan, who started the business together in 2012 and now employ over 70 staff. Mr Vaughan said: “We have really hit the ground running since last year’s first lockdown ended and have secured a number of major contracts while we’re also in the running for a number of others. We have also built up an expertise in the construction of low energy passivhaus homes, working with one of the UK leaders in the field, Beattie Passive, and we believe this will become increasingly important. ....

A GROUP of friends braved terrible weather to take on the Welsh 3000s Challenge and raised an incredible £10,000 for St David s Hospice. The fundraiser took place last month. Those involved in the Snowdonia peaks challenge included: Ben Woof, of Prestatyn; Alun Pritchard, of Old Colwyn; Gary Field and Gareth Lavin from Llandudno Junction; Howard Vaughan, from Glan Conwy and Mark Orme, of Llandudno. The men walked 100k, battled below zero temperatures, driving rain, and gale force winds to climb all but one of the 15 mountains. Mr Field said: We decided that the Welsh 3000s was an ideal challenge. The Welsh 3000s are defined as 15 peaks that are over 3000ft in the Snowdonia National Park and the challenge is completed by hiking up to 50kms. However, this did not seem to be enough distance, so we added 50kms more. ....
