OUR WORK IN WELLINGBOROUGH
Project type: Variety of electrical works for various sites
Business: Tresham College, Wellingborough
Tresham College Wellingborough is part of the Bedford College Group, they are a key long standing client of ours and we carry out a variety of electrical works at their sites in Bedford, Shuttleworth, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby and Silverstone.
This includes many aspects of electrical work ranging from small repairs to large building refurbishments, the installation of structured network cabling including fibre optic cabling, electrical installation condition reports and PAT testing.
At Wellingborough we were involved in the 2019 refurbishment of the building, the site had been closed for a number of years and was completely renovated to allow it to open again. We were involved in the decommissioning of the old electrical infrastructure and the installation of 110V site temporaries including lighting and power to enable the building works to begin. New circuits were also installed to the site offices, and also to power the cladding lifts that were operating on the outside of the building.
We also refurbished Croyland Hall which was used to accommodate staff and students whilst the work was carried out at the main site. This including the installation of new LED lighting throughout, and the installation of small power and network outlets contained within dado trunking within classrooms.
