The Corsham Development Project is under construction with Inteq, a joint venture between John Laing and Interserve. The project has provided state-of-the-art facilities to the Defence Communications Services Agency on the Basil Hill Site in Corsham, Wiltshire and the final phase of construction is nearing completion.
The project includes cutting edge operational and technical support facilities at Corsham, with new and refurbished office accommodation for around 2,000 staff and 180 single, ensuite rooms for service staff. The concession will run for 25 years from award of project,which was inAugust 2008.
The construction cost was £129 million and John Laing will take a lease on the existing underground tunnels below the MOD sites in Corsham and develop these for third party income opportunities. Interserve FM will provide soft and hard facilities management throughout the concession period and interim phases above ground with maintenance of listed critical assets below ground.
The project has been directly influenced by the government's sustainability agenda. As such, issues relating to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, pollution, water use, and considerate use of material and resources are instrumental to the development of the site.
