Following the successful delivery of the Project Allenby/ Connaught (PAC) scheme, our services were retained by Aspire Defence Capital Works (ADCW) for the Army Basing Programme (ABP). This £1.1bn variation to the original contract would further reconfigure the Army’s living and working infrastructure from 2016 to 2020, to accommodate units returning from Germany, whilst also rebasing units within the UK.
ABP saw further upgrades to the infrastructure and assets at garrisons across Salisbury Plain Training Area and at Aldershot. Working alongside the now established Aspire project team, our engineers provided MEP designs for a further 92 technical assets over the next five years. At ABP’s peak, we tackled more than 20 projects simultaneously, issuing construction information on up to four assets per week, ranging from stores and Dutch barns to battalion headquarters and state-of-the-art simulator training facilities.
With work now underway on all garrison sites, our team continues their involvement with the project, completing the remaining designs, providing construction support, carrying-out site inspections and ensuring the successful integration of completed assets into service.
