Project Overview

Highland Services provided Electrical services to the new Brynmenyn Primary School. The project included delivery containment, sub mains, distribution, lighting and small power provision. We conducted regular internal assessments to help us to identify efficiencies in time, cost, and quality, and also share added value initiatives with BAM Construction, such as looking at ease of access and plant maintenance regimes to facilitate future maintenance requirements. Also during this project, the fire alarm contractor who was working direct to BAM had Labour issues resulting in them being unable to complete their installation to programme. Highland were able to jump in and help by running fire alarm detection cables in areas that had been missed. This allowed the programme to stay on track for all trades involved
