LITTLE VICTORIA STREET STUDENT ACCOMMODATION, BELFAST
organisation were key,” said Mark. “Detailed programming, procurement and off-site storage of long lead items aided the achievement of targets. “While using the in-house team to complete, we used a Gripple Fast Fix system to speed up containment installation. Site installation was streamlined using our specialist procurement team, switchgear and accessory kits, which were prepared off site and delivered on a room-by-room basis.” Completing the project as per the builders’ programme, satisfying the client and main contractor, was a point of pride for Fox Electrical Contracts, as were delivering a high standard of studio accommodation to Belfast, and setting a precedent for high quality student accommodation. “This project stands out for the high standard of finish,” said Mark. “There are a lot of exposed services visible on the bare concrete ceilings in the public areas of the building which needed to be left in tidy and aesthetically pleasing state.
“McAleer & Rushe assembled an exceptional on-site team, which developed a strong collaborative bond. Having previously worked on substantial projects together, we’re now looking forward to new ventures with the team. “This project showcased our ability to turnaround a large-scale student accommodation project within a fast 10-month schedule, which was a fantastic achievement. It also highlighted our value engineering and project management skills.” Fox Electrical Contracts specialises in large commercial and industrial projects across the UK and Ireland, operating offices in Armagh and Monaghan.
