Description
The project was awarded on a best value basis where the quality, time and cost were all equally evaluated by the client’s team.
The works were for the design and build of a new catering facility, with associated external works, the creation of a new ablutions block and the refurbishment of an existing ablutions block, the armoury and the ammunitions store.
The construction works were spread over the entire training camp which was in use throughout the contract duration whereby all works and deliveries were carefully planned and coordinated with the staff running the site to minimise disruption and risks to those using the training facility.
Due to the location of the works careful consideration had to be given to the selection of materials to withstand a marine environment.
The catering facility was designed to accommodate up to 350 people for any one meal. This involved a state of the art catering package and the associated complicated mechanical, electrical and ventilation systems for the kitchen.
The use of grey water recycling has been installed on the scheme.
Works were undertaken on an active army base necessitating close liaison with the military personnel to ensure complete safety and minimum disruption.
