Lafarge, who boast 237 locations internationally, with an annual turnover of £1 billion, constructed a manufacturing plant for their building division on site of the old Ferrybridge ‘B‘ power station. Servaccomm were commissioned to provide office accommodation to support Lafarge's administration and operations team who run the plant.
Single-storey office accommodation was constructed in a record six weeks offsite at Servaccomm’s manufacturing site. The bespoke-finished modular building, with office space of approximately 1100 square metres, was transported and installed on prepared foundations over a period of four days.
The office accommodation now provides a uniquely designed reception area, meeting rooms, senior management offices, together with a main boardroom, toilet and washroom facilities. The building also boasts full cool/heat climate control air conditioning; IT, data and power, all contained within trunking; low energy and CATT Two lighting to all office areas.
Mike Kendall, Engineering Manager for Lafarge, concludes:
"Servaccomm were definitely the most visionary, and their submission was a genuinely innovative response to our needs. The other four applicants added little value to the brief and didn’t take care to understand Lafarge’s needs. In the end, the decision to award the contract to Servaccomm was made easy by their attention to detail and understanding of our requirements."
