Birchall has won the maintenance contract for mechanical and electrical services for The Rolls Building, an 8-storey business-court development in London’s Fetter Lane.

The premises also provide accommodation for judiciary and administrative staff of the Administrative Appeals Chamber. The rest of the space in the building is the London office of international law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.

Birchall will have two engineers on site to maintain the landlord systems. The building has a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. Services include a combined cooling, heating and power plant, heat-recovery technology, high-efficiency lighting and a bespoke building-management system.
