Mansfield-based Overton Electrical Services upgrades fire station facilities across Derbyshire

Mansfield-based Overton Electrical Services has completed an air conditioning refurbishment project at Chesterfield Fire Station and a second scheme at Alfreton Fire Station.

The projects involve coordinating mechanical installations, associated electrical works and building alterations for the firm.

Matthew Brocklehurst, Managing Director of Overton Electrical Services, said: “These projects demonstrate the importance of effective coordination when delivering building services improvements in operational environments.

“As main contractor, we are responsible for bringing the different elements of the work together, ensuring the mechanical and electrical installations are properly integrated and delivered to the required standard.

“Completing the works at Chesterfield within the agreed programme, despite challenges with equipment availability, reflects the importance of working closely with our supply chain and maintaining a proactive approach to project management.” 

At Chesterfield Fire Station, the completed works included replacing existing air conditioning equipment and refrigerant pipework, installing new room and central controls, and integrating the upgraded systems with the existing heat recovery ventilation.

Both schemes are designed to improve temperature control and provide comfortable working environments for station personnel, with testing, commissioning and handover forming an important part of the delivery process.
