ICS on fast track to 2012 Olympic Games

ICS
An Olympic first for Integrated Control Systems has come with the design and installation of controls in the Palestra building in London for offices occupied by the London Development Agency, which is laying the foundations for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The 2012 Olympic Games in London has already generated business for Integrated Controls Systems. The company has won the fast-track contract to design and install the controls for offices being used by the London Development Agency, the regeneration agency laying the foundations for the games. The LDA has established a 5600 m2 headquarter on the fifth and sixth floors in the 11-storey Palestra development near to Southwark Bridge in London. ICS was already working on a £650 000 shell-and-core contract in the building, building motor-control panels, installing 500 fan-coil units with associated base-build controls for air-handling units, boilers and chillers and which is nearing completion. ICS carried out the 2-floor fit-out for LDA concurrently, installing new air-handling units and fan-coil units and moving others to meet the requirements for an unusual number of meeting and conference rooms, together with the design and installation of controls for the ground-floor reception area, pod and pool occupied by LDA. Both contracts, worth £750 000, were awarded by Skanska, the main contractor. Consulting engineer on the shell and core was Aukett, with Connell Mott MacDonald as consultant for the fit-out.
