Engineering
We are recognised as one of the nation’s top mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering contractors. We offer highly effective engineering solutions throughout the UK, and we are well known as a principal contractor and specialist supply chain partner.
We also provide an integrated delivery solution in tandem with our regional building development, office fit-out and infrastructure businesses delivering a comprehensive and competitive service. This collaboration allows for greater integrated engineering and construction processes with our customers, greater efficiencies in the programme and reduced costs. Due to its highly effective results, this combined approach has allowed us to deliver under challenging circumstances and stand out as leading figures in the industry. Notably, this was vitally important in the successful, fast track delivery of the NHS Nightingale Hospital in Birmingham while under COVID-19 restrictions and extremely challenging time frames. It also facilitated the high-quality completion of the Proton Beam Therapy Centre at The Christie hospital in Manchester, among many others.
Offering plumbing, mechanical and electrical engineer construction and maintenance for a number of years, we gained an enviable track record in direct plant replacement and infrastructure up-grades. In these projects, we specifically provided expertise on mechanical and electrical engineering as standalone solutions, directly to end users. Through this route, we have secured and completed work for organisations including Rolls Royce, The City of London, Selfridges, The Old Bailey, Barclays, The Bank of England and Lancaster University. As such, our engineering portfolio supports customers across the commercial, health, retail and government sectors.
Due to the set-up of our regional offices and extensive supply chain network, we act as a dedicated plumbing, mechanical and electrical engineering contractor company for several regions, combining these resources to deliver fully integrated engineering solutions.
Awards for our engineering solutions
We won the ‘Best Use of MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and Pod Technology’ award at the Explore Offsite Awards in September 2022.
We won the award for the new multi-million pound Urgent and Emergency Care Centre at Walsall Manor Hospital. The award recognises the work done collaboratively with Tilbury Douglas Construction, the client, design team and wider supply chain to significantly embrace off-site engineering strategies for the MEP services. This resulted in enhanced programme delivery, improved health and safety, increased supply chain collaboration and efficient sustainable delivery.
In November 2022 we also picked up two awards at the H&V News Awards which celebrate the achievements of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. We won HVAC Contractor of the Year for the way we had grown and developed following some turbulent years, as well as our response across many fronts to the pandemic.
We also won HVAC Project of the Year (Over £0.5m) for our Bradford Royal Infirmary project as it “demonstrated HVAC engineering at its very best”. Judges said that this showed HVAC best practice in action with real empathy for the building occupiers and minimising the impact via off-site construction.
