Working as main contractor across both projects, our team was responsible for coordinating the mechanical installations, associated electrical works and building alterations required to deliver the improvements. This approach enabled us to manage the different elements as part of a coordinated solution, ensuring each installation was effectively integrated and delivered to the required standard.

At Chesterfield Fire Station, we successfully completed an air conditioning refurbishment, replacing the existing equipment and refrigerant pipework, installing new room and central controls, and integrating the upgraded systems with the building’s existing heat recovery ventilation.

Despite initial challenges with equipment availability, our team worked closely with the manufacturer to secure the necessary components and maintain progress. This proactive approach enabled us to complete the works within the agreed programme, demonstrating the importance of effective supply chain coordination and forward planning when delivering technical building services projects.

At Alfreton Fire Station, the works involved installing new heating and cooling systems, updating controls and making ventilation alterations within the occupational health accommodation. Our team also delivered the associated electrical supply installations, with testing and commissioning carried out to ensure the new systems were operating as intended.

Both projects were designed around the operational requirements of the facilities, with the aim of improving temperature control and supporting more comfortable working environments for station personnel. Careful planning was essential when undertaking improvements within emergency service buildings, where works needed to be coordinated around day-to-day operational requirements while maintaining the necessary standards of safety and quality.

As main contractor, we oversaw the wider delivery of both projects, managing specialist contractors and coordinating the interfaces between mechanical, electrical and building works. Testing, commissioning and handover were also key parts of the process, helping to ensure the completed systems met the client’s requirements and were ready for ongoing use.

Projects such as these demonstrate our experience in delivering building services improvements for public sector organisations, combining technical expertise with the project management capabilities needed to coordinate complex installations. By taking a joined-up approach to delivery, we help ensure essential facilities benefit from reliable, fit-for-purpose systems that support their ongoing operational requirements.

We are proud to have worked with Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service to successfully deliver improvements at both Chesterfield and Alfreton Fire Stations, contributing to enhanced facilities that support the important work of station personnel.
