The £100m project – on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) – will grow capacity at the barracks from 500 to 2,000 personnel, to accommodate two new signal regiments returning from Germany. Various new buildings will be constructed, including offices, workshops, living quarters and ancillary facilities.
NG Bailey will deliver a full design and installation solution. Led by its engineering division, the company will also use its offsite manufacture division to help in the design and installation of prefabricated plant rooms, skid mounts and pipework and containment modules. The contractor’s IT services arm will bring in a specialist communications information system (CIS) to improve the barracks’ IT infrastructure.
Mike Darlington, joint managing director of NG Bailey’s engineering division, said: “This is a great win for us and we’re delighted to be delivering services that will grow the barracks’ capacity. Our strong partnership and collaborative approach will enable us to deliver a best value solution for the Ministry of Defence.”
Chief executive David Hurcomb added: “We have a proven track record in delivering large-scale projects and that, coupled with our size and stability in the marketplace, stood us in good stead for the win. We look forward to starting on site and to delivering the project with Lend Lease.”
