Santander Unity Place Milton Keynes, UK

Client Santander Project Title Unity Place Location Milton Keynes, UK Size 80,000 sq m Update Scope Full MEP Services

Unity Place is Santander UK’s landmark new workplace in Milton Keynes.

Procured by Osborne+Co for Santander and designed by LOM, Unity Place is a centre for digital banking innovation and incorporates a range of community facilities. With a total construction area of 80,000 sq m and over 50,000 sq m of commercial office space, this was one of the largest office developments to be completed in the UK over the past few years outside London.

The scheme will be the focal point for Santander’s UK business and the local community. It includes coworking space for small businesses and start-ups. The public will be encouraged to use its facilities including an ‘urban market’, retail outlets, health facilities including gym, yoga and consultation spaces, community hall and auditorium. There is also a rooftop running track and café/ restaurant with terrace.

Unity Place brings together Santander’s 5,000 employees who are currently spread across four sites in Milton Keynes.

The total office space area is equivalent to over eight and a half football pitches.

Sustainability

Sustainability is that vital ingredient in building services design. Once carefully considered it provides a real contribution to lower emissions and a greener planet.

We fully embrace new technologies providing smarter buildings for the end user.

We support the principles of BREEAM and LEED, and work to lower carbon outputs applying Net Zero principles to all our projects.

12

We support and embrace new technologies providing smarter buildings for the end user

Aiming for zero

From the project outset sustainability was one of the core objectives for Unity Place. The building is on target to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating for its environmental sustainability performance and will exceed Building Regulation requirements by reducing CO2 emissions by a further 20 per cent. It includes solar panels on the roof and uses brise soleil on the building façade to help maximise natural daylight, while reducing solar heat gain.

The solar panels on the roof will reduce energy costs, and will lead to substantial savings over the lifetime of the building

The rooftop batteries will provide a target backup power of 6MW for critical and essential services, delivering 60 minutes of AC power and reducing the need for fossil fuel-powered backup generators.

With a plan for no single use plastics, a strategy in place to target a zero waste building, and a focus on green spaces, Unity Place will have a positive impact on sustainability.

The choice of glazing intentionally maximises natural light, while three full height atria will allow light to penetrate the deeper plan spaces, thus reducing electricity usage and costs.

Façade fabricated in Poland as offsite component units. This reduced construction waste, improved installation efficiency, speed and safety, and will achieve high thermal performance and air tightness.

Services BUILDINGS

Our expertise in multi-disciplinary building services covers three main sectors: Commercial, Hospitality and Industrial, and three project types: Buildings, Fit-Out, and Infrastructure.

Our combined sector experience totals over 9 million sq ft of commercial office space, 7,500 hotel beds, and $300 million+ of industrial and manufacturing facilities.

LF Wade International Airport Bermuda

Client Project Title Location Size Update Scope

Aecon Group LF Wade International Airport Bermuda 288,000 sq ft Full MEP Services

Update Group were engaged by Aecon Airport Constructors to provide the entire mechanical, electrical, IT and fire safety systems for the new passenger terminal at Bermuda’s international airport.

In order to facilitate the increasing popularity of Bermuda as a destination, a public private partnership project between the Bermudian Government, Skyport and Aecon Group was initiated to construct this new 280,000 sq ft terminal.

The design brings Bermuda’s airport into line with other major modern airports in terms of passenger comfort, facilities and ease of arrival and departure. Modern lounges and passenger boarding bridges will enhance the passenger experience, while immigration and security have been streamlined.

The whole project is geared towards sustainability and crucially, the new building has been designed to minimise the effect of extreme weather conditions.

17

The building was designed to be a state-ofthe-art terminal to reflect Bermuda’s growing status as a destination and to transit up to two million passengers per year 18

Our Scope Our scope on the project included the entire mechanical, electrical, fire protection, IT and security systems.

Update Group worked closely with Aecon in the development of the design into the detailed and coordinated install which was ORAT-compliant (Operational Readiness and Testing).

Our scope also included the infrastructure packages for the MV network and storm drainage systems, as well as standby generation and full load UPS support.

Within the overall IT systems we had responsibility for the Airport Information Management systems.

This included the turnkey install of the flight and gate display systems, automated check-in kiosks, all airline check-in desks, integration with the baggage handling systems, automated entry passport kiosks, fit-out of US Customs and Border Protection areas, and management of the entire access control and analytic CCTV install.

Awards LF Wade International Airport has been voted the Best Airport of its Size in the Latin America and Caribbean region.

The Airport Council International (ACI) World Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards, which are held annually, celebrate and showcase the world’s best airports as voted for by travellers, and this year, Bermuda’s airport won the showcase award in the region for airports with two million annual passengers or less.

In addition to the Best Airport by Size and Region award, LF Wade International was also voted as having the Best Hygiene Measures of any airport in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Santander Triton Square London No 2 Triton Square is the UK headquarters of Spanish banking giant Santander. This facility extends to over 200,000 sq ft over seven levels. Together with Osborne + Co we recently completed the multi-phased refit of the entire building on a Design & Build basis.

Being a live working environment meant there were a number of project complexities. The core challenge was ensuring continuity of the existing MEP systems to allow the executive and trading floor functions with critical systems support to continue to operate. Not forgetting that this building is in one of central London’s busiest districts made the logistical planning and resources management a vital factor.

For Update Group, the project included a change out of the entire Mechanical & Electrical plant infrastructure, and all new sustainable redesigned layouts across Levels 2 - 6 of the building. As we were responsible for the MEP design, our delivery team worked closely with Santander, Osborne + Co and the project architects LOM, to ensure this fast track project meets the future needs of the Bank into the coming decades.

PROJECT ADVISORY

PROJECT INITIATION

CONCEPT & BUDGET EVALUATION

The best time to start thinking about the building services requirements of your project, is at the same time as your outline brief is being developed. The MEP scope is usually the largest package after construction, up to 25% of total cost on some projects, so getting this right from the outset should be near the top of your list of critical factors.

Once appointed, we will work closely with the construction consultants and MEP design team to define the Project Brief. This will involve an indepth study of the client objectives and planned demands on the building services.

Where design responsibility needs to be maintained, we actively participate in workshops and provide input in areas such as technical, sustainability, cost and buildability.

Speaking to us at this early stage means we can provide a Strategic Analysis of your initial brief and budget estimate, and advise on potential related risks across the entire plan of work.

Get in touch for a chat. We would really like to hear from you.

Our input on the Project Brief will include: Site Evaluation Feasibility Studies

Design Drawings & Specification Order of Magnitude Costs Procurement Plan Sustainability

Innovative Technologies Project Programme

From our extensive experience we have a significant amount of cost data across a wide range of sectors and geographic locations.

Combine this with our resources, knowledge and insights and we can provide a detailed evaluation from an engineering perspective and complete a detailed measurement and cost for the project.

This allows us to prove value for money at an early stage which we can guarantee forms the key to the development of the MEP cost.

DESIGN & COST FINALISATION

PROJECT DELIVERY

COMMISSIONING & VALIDATION

POST-OCCUPANCY SUPPORT

Having established a target cost, the path becomes clearer.

As soon as the design & cost review process is completed our construction team issue a project schedule or programme. Critical path factors and procurement requirements are identified

At this stage our construction delivery team are fully in place and engaged, working alongside our preconstruction team. This allows us to hit the ground running and ensure meaningful coordination of the MEP works with ongoing QA/QC reviews, all while maintaining the maximum efficiencies of the construction programme.

Always with one eye on the commissioning requirements we will develop a Commissioning Plan from the beginning. This plan starts with the preparation of commissioning scripts per system so we can get the agreed buy in from all project stakeholders.

Following handover, our contract is still active for a further 12 months.

If the system performance and design intent has been sufficiently identified, we have the experience and skill set to take ownership of the design and carry it through to the construction and implementation.

It is important to stress that during this phase cost models are continuously updated to reflect the status of the design. Without these updates it is difficult to gauge on whether value for money is being achieved.

Our supply chain procurement schedules will be issued simultaneously when final scope is clarified.

We issue regular project reports advising on procurement, supply chain performance, design status, financial and critical factors to ensure all stakeholders stay informed.

This follows through with detailed system commissioning work plans.

We also set out the validation and handover processes so everyone knows what to expect.

To ensure the building is used, operated and maintained efficiently, during this time we: Undertake reviews of Building Services Performance Undertake seasonal Commissioning Rectify defects Undertake Post Occupancy Evaluation of building performance in use Verify Project Outcomes including Sustainability Outcomes

The benefits from our early engagement flows through the design development stages, and as we gain knowledge of the project requirements we will guarantee the cost of the MEP works from Stage 4 onwards.

About Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman The first Caribbean residential offering managed by Mandarin Oriental, this mixed-used development combines hotel rooms and condo’s that share facilities. The resort is located atop one of the highest elevations on the island with cinematic views of the ocean called St. James Point.

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and the location of the territory’s capital, George Town. The conveniently located modern international airport offers direct flights to all major cities. Unlike many other Caribbean islands, Grand Cayman is for the most part, flat. This allows for more space to build as the island’s population grows.

There are just under 600 banks and trust companies in Grand Cayman, including 43 of the 50 largest banks in the world. Because of this large financial presence on the island, banking, investments, and insurance drive the economy in Grand Cayman.
