Since 1994, Magpie BMS has been designing and installing control system updates across London. With an in-house workshop, we specialise in creating bespoke automation solutions tailored to meet each customer’s unique requirements. We recently completed a project for a primary school in Ruislip, where the existing control panel had become outdated. Our team upgraded the system with a modern, efficient solution, ensuring reliable performance and improved functionality to meet the school’s operational needs.

New Trend Control Installation and Refurbishment of Existing Control Panel
Introduction
Ruislip Garden JMI School was planned by Middlesex CCEC in 1934, to serve the new housing estate being built on part of Tybber Field. Building began in 1939, and the school was opened in June 1940. Numbers had grown to nearly 700 by the end of 1949, so the school was divided into separate Infants and Junior departments. The buildings have remained relatively unchanged externally and still present the clean uncluttered lines of 1930’s Middlesex CC schools. The internal arrangements have been altered many times to fit varying numbers of children and to suit changing methods. Modern pupils spend much time on practical activities in small groups and require more space than when the school was built. In 2023 there were 271 pupils attending the school*.

Summary of Control System Services Provided
Following the installation of new boilers and associated plant we were contracted by G & D Higgins to undertake the associated control system works.
This involved carrying out the following work:
- Removing the existing BMS panel which had Trend Series 2 controllers and an NDP display dating back to the mid 1990’s.
- Modifying and refurbishing the original switchgear panel to suit the new boilers.
- Removing redundant field wiring.
