The utility company is now ready to develop the scheme at Stepps, near Glasgow, which would see the contractor deliver an ultra sustainable new build office with a new Intelligent Control Centre and Data Centre.
The four-storey, 7,300 sq m building will be designed around a central atrium to maximise the use of natural ventilation and light. The building will utilise the thermal mass of the concrete frame and will include a biomass boiler, thermal water heating and photovoltaic panels
BAM will also use sustainable urban drainage systems and rainwater harvesting to further boost the building’s environmental performance.
Work on site will start in February 2012 and be completed in summer 2013.
Lorna McGregor, Scottish Water`s Head of Commercial Capital Projects, said:
‘We look forward to working closely with BAM in the design and build a of superb facility which will host significant investment in enhanced technology to improve our customer experience through the Intelligent Control Centre. This also presents a great opportunity to provide a fit-for-purpose, energy-efficient, low-carbon office environment for many years to come.’
BAM Scotland's regional pre-construction manager Paul Neil said the firm was delighted to be selected as preferred bidder for the strategically and environmentally important building.
