Safestand Used At Orpington Fire Station

/in /by

12.12.2013 5k Design and Build Ltd have once again chosen Safestand Access System as their number one access provider. Safestand is currently being used on the new Orpington Fire Station, a project by Kier who have a long standing history with Safestand.

Mark Starling (Safety, Health and Evironmental Manager for Kier London) had this to say recently about Safestand and the level of service we provide “thank you for the service you provide and the support you offer, it makes a real difference and helps me deliver safe sites and send everyone home safely, the biggest responsibility any employer has”.

The new station will provide state of the art facilities for fire crews and have community spaces allowing members of the public access to fire safety advice. Construction work will last 12 months, with arrangements being put in place to ensure fire cover by the Avalon Road station is not interrupted during building.
Other stations set for improvements are Dagenham, Dockhead, Leytonstone, Mitcham, Old Kent Road, Orpington, Plaistow, Purley and Shadwell fire stations. Eight of the stations are being completely re-built on their existing sites and one station, Mitcham, will be built on a new site.

The move is part of a joint project between the London Fire Brigade and its private finance initiative (PFI) partner Blue3, who will deliver the design, build, financing and maintenance of the stations for 28 years.

10.12.2013 VolkerFitzpatrick is designing, constructing and commissioning two depots over the next three years at Hornsey in north London and Three Bridges near Crawley in West Sussex. The depots are being built simultaneously by two in-house specialist project teams.  KLF Construction Ltd is currently using Safestand Access Systems as it’s preferred low level access system at the Hornsey depot, which is expected to be completed in 2016.

The Hornsey depot is being constructed within a live operational rail environment adjacent to the East Coast mainline and the existing Hornsey depot. The project comprises the co-ordinated redevelopment of two separate areas of existing infrastructure, including the existing operational depot and the derelict sidings immediately to the north of the existing depot. The work involves the widening of two existing bridges, a new three road, 12-car, maintenance shed, two carriage washing machines, offices and all associated depot infrastructure. Alterations to the existing depot are being undertaken in close consultation with the train operating

“The depots are being built with close regard to all stakeholders and communities, in a sustainable, safe and responsible manner. The sites are both registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.”
