Construction of the main Control Building and the Principal SVC Process Building for the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm

This project comprised the construction of two steel framed metal clad buildings which provided the main Control Building and the Principal SVC Process Building for the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm.

Both buildings were highly serviced with deep raised flooring systems and electromagnetic shielding incorporated into the building fabric. The buildings also had an enhanced level of fire protection plus blast proof features.

The electrical services not only provided general lighting and power but were integrated into the main operational grid process systems and included fire and security installations. Mechanical services comprised extensive ventilation, cooling and climate control as well as standard domestic services. Full BMS control systems were incorporated.

Each building comprise:

• Excavations and earthworks
• Underfloor drains & ducts
• Service trenches/RC ducts
• Concrete floor and foundations
• Metal cladding
• Blockwork partitions
• Foul and surface water drainage
• High element of services
• Structural floor slabs
• Structural steelwork
• Wall and roof cladding
• External walls
• Internal partitions
• EMC shielding to SVC Building
• Suspended floors and ceilings
• Small power and lighting
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
• Heavy duty metal doors
• Roller Shutter door
• Testing and commissioning

Internally the units include:

• M&E Services Installation
• Toilets
