SEC are proud to finish another job for the MOD – SEC Ltd has recently completed a critical electrical power shutdown of HP Data Centre at Imjin Barracks, Gloucester, managed by our Electrical Contracts Manager Dave Shepherd. The emergency works were required to carry out modifications to the electrical system in order to maintain the MOD licence for their classified and restricted data traffic.

The scheduling and completion of the works was of paramount importance given that this data centre was the primary hub for all personal communications traffic to the British Army in Afghanistan via the manned 24 hour call centre connected to the data centre. SEC are pleased to confirm that the scheduled shutdown and works went without a hitch and resulted in the data centre being brought back online and functioning within the 48 hour window of opportunity and to the accolade of both the client and the sites MOD representatives.

This was by the commitment shown by the SEC engineers, only achieved by working around the clock using our in house labour from both the local Swindon office and by sending engineers from our Hook Head Office.

SEC are at present completing a design and build project rated at over £200,000 for Aspire Defence. The project consists of the replacement of the plant room mechanical services. It involves the design and installation of new boilers and hot water services, including a BMS panel control system. It has involved the removal of an aging system and associated pipe works within the plant room.  SEC provided these services together with all the associated building works.

SEC have installed all new pipe work in the plant room and have designed a system that incorporates all the client requirements for future maintenance. The project has been designed by Peter Roast our senior mechanical engineer and the installation is being managed by Ben Card.

The installation of new 11Kv packaged substation for Kent International Airport was carried out as full high voltage turnkey package by SEC in-house engineers from design through to completion. Including all civil works, procurement and installation of switchgear and commissioning.   Due to the location of the sub-station local planning permission was sought – this was also overseen by the SEC project team and the integration into the site infrastructure had to be carefully co-ordinated with the site being an operation airport.

We’ve just completed a another Commercial Building Services project at the Green Park offices of Symantec Head Office where 108 dual flush toilets were installed.  This created a saving of a MASSIVE 3.2 million litres of water per year reducing the impact of the offices on the local water table as well as making substantial cost savings to the client.

We are proud to complete another building job for the MOD – this time it was a 100 bed accommodation block complete refurbishment. The project was completed on time and in budget!
