Global Biopharmaceutical Company | Project UCB | Windlesham
We are proud to be delivering Project UCB in Windlesham — a major pharmaceutical research and office development for a global biopharmaceutical company.
AES were appointed to deliver the full mechanical services package across two new office buildings within the UK headquarters and research facility development.
Our scope includes:
• Public Health services
• Laboratory services & domestic water systems
• LTHW & CHW mechanical systems
• Rainwater Pipework (RWP)
• Above Ground Drainage (AGD) installations
As the project evolved, extensive redundant existing services were identified, leading to a major expansion of the original scope. AES subsequently secured and delivered:
• Full steam services package
• Strip-out and modification works
• Reinstatement of existing Mechanical, Public Health, RWP & AGD systems
This project has been both technically demanding and highly dynamic, requiring continuous coordination and programme management throughout. Despite the additional works increasing to almost the value of the original contract, Arcforce successfully maintained delivery using the originally projected labour resource — ensuring the programme remained on track without disruption.
A fantastic effort from all teams involved and another strong example of collaboration, adaptability, and delivery excellence within the pharmaceutical sector.
