ISG completes work on final JRSLA building in Hampshire, UK
1 February 2012UK-based construction services company ISG has completed the final Junior Ranks Single Living Accommodation (JRSLA) building in a £40 million ($63.4 million) rolling programme of 86 assets in Aldershot, Hampshire, UK.
The JRSLA buildings were constructed using the modular design and construction technique and were manufactured on a bespoke production line by Tata Steel’s former Living Solutions division. The facilities were delivered to site as pre-fabricated 4m x 4m pods, with furniture, carpets and pipe work already in place. Aspire Defence completed the ground works and assembled the 51 units in each asset, which included 36 en-suite bedrooms, two common rooms and two kitchens per floor. The ISG contract involved the fit-out and installation of mechanical and electrical services and completion of the three-storey modular buildings, comprising 36 bedroom en-suite units, with each of the 86 assets successfully completed within just 14 weeks. These modular construction assets were carried out as part of the MoD’s strategically important 35-year PFI infrastructure contract, Project Allenby/Connaught, being delivered by Aspire Defence and all were completed within the high security wire.
