PROJECT PROFILE
NI FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT COLLEGE, COOKSTOWN
TASKED WITH SUPPLYING A COMPLEX DESIGN & BUILD SOLUTION FOR THE NEW NIFRS LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT COLLEGE, METICULOUS COORDINATION WAS KEY TO THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS… A COMPLEX BUILDING FABRIC REQUIRING INNOVATIVE MEP SOLUTIONS
Delivering efficient, low-maintenance MEP solutions with longevity was a key focus for Vaughan Engineering Services Limited in its design-and-build provision for the new NI Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) Learning & Development College. The Newtownabbey-based business was responsible for supplying an MEP package spanning a diverse range of mechanical, electrical and renewable energy services across the extensive campus. Featuring a variety of simulated training environments, many of which are unique on the island of Ireland, the complex building fabric required innovative MEP solutions. Matt Potter, Operations Director, said, “Collaboration was key to the successful delivery of such a complex project with Vaughan Engineering Services benefitting from a productive partnership with both main contractor Felix O’Hare and a raft of sub-contractors including fire and security specialist Crane Comms and generator solutions provider PM Power. “We extend our sincere gratitude to Felix O’Hare for entrusting Vaughan Engineering Services with the privilege of delivering this prestigious project.
“Their proactive approach to project management and their commitment to collaborative teamwork have significantly contributed to the success of this project. “By involving us as integral members of the team throughout every stage of the project, Felix O’Hare has fostered a productive and efficient working relationship.” Established in 1955, Vaughan Engineering Services is a leading mechanical and electrical building services engineering contractor.
