Balfour Beatty Engineering Services is working on a £4.6 M&E contract by Bovis Lend Lease for a new Strathclyde fire-and-rescue training facility in Cambuslang. This new centre will cover 30 acres and bring training together on one site.

Features of the centre include maximising the use of natural light and ventilation. There will also be a wind turbine and biomass boiler.

The centre will provide specialised training for every modern emergency. They include road and rail crashes, building explosions and fires in high-rise buildings.

Balfour Beatty plans to maximise offsite manufacturing. Work is due to be completed at the end of 2011.
