Engineering and environmental consultancy, Waterman Group plc has been appointed to the Ministry of Defence’s Army Basing Programme, which is set to vastly improve the working/living conditions and quality of life for thousands of Army soldiers.
The Army Basing Programme is an extension of Project Allenby/Connaught (PAC) and covers garrisons across Salisbury Plain and at Aldershot. Over £1.1Bn will be invested in the MOD Estate, covering construction of new facilities and facilities management, with 130 new buildings and over 2,600 additional bed spaces for single soldiers created by 2020.
Garrisons at Bulford, Tidworth, Perham Down, Larkhill and Aldershot will be the first to see new facilities developed over the next four years. By 2020, 130 new buildings and over 2,600 additional bed spaces for single soldiers will be created.
Working with Aspire Defence, Waterman will assist as engineering designer for over 50% of the development programme, the value of which is anticipated to be circa £680M.
Nick Taylor, CEO of Waterman Group, said: “We are honoured to be involved in this prestigious scheme which will vastly improve the lives of British soldiers and civilians. We look forward to meeting the challenging requirements of the ABP and continuing to work with this experienced team at Aspire Defence, delivering each building on time and to the high level of quality expected of us.”
