hurleypalmerflatt worked with BG Group at its head office buildings based in Thames Valley Park Reading, to completely refurbish four buildings. It gives BG Group an intelligent, corporate headquarters facility allowing for diverse international communication and providing excellent quality facilities for over 1,500 staff.
Through out the project, hurleypalmerflatt has provided MEP Services, Energy and Sustainability Consultancy, Structural Engineering and IT/AV Consultancy. As a result, the buildings provide improved efficiency and through adaptable M&E Services and associated IT Support Systems, the flexibility to cater for the future relocation of departments and people. They house highly sophisticated audio-visual equipment and network design features.
The engineering design solution achieves three core objectives: reliability, resilience and flexibility. Specific elements were pre-engineered, including sprinkler, fire detection sounders, lighting and air-conditioning components, to enable Barclays to partition the space in a number of different ways without any changes or disruption to the services.
