DORSET & WILTSHIRE FIRE AND RESCUE FRA WORKS
Project Details

With VIVO Defence we successfully completed fire safety works at the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue training facility in West Moors.
We worked across five buildings, (four unoccupied, one partially occupied).
To minimise disruption to the building users, we strategically phased the work, carefully managing all activities in the occupied building.
In addition to replacing the fire door sets and installing penetrations seals and emergency lighting, our Refurbishment and M&E works updated the facility’s appearance and increased/ enhanced its safety, energy efficiency, comfort and compliance. CONTRACT VALUE £1.8M
