This project involves the construction of a new fire station. The project has involved the collaboration of major stakeholders from the Highways Agency, Local Authority, the Fire Brigade and local residents. The proposal is to build upon a currently undeveloped and unoccupied area of grassland with scattered individual trees in order to address the need for emergency services requirements. The team have provided full services on a traditionally procured contract and achieved planning approval for the project. With a proposed contract value within the budget cost plan of £4.5million various challenges and sustainability issues have been overcome or incorporated accordingly. Surrey Fire & Rescue Service (SFRS) undertook a strategic review of their facilities across Surrey in 2010 and this identified that the existing Sunbury and Staines Fire Stations were not located within the core boundary area for call outs, increasing response times and therefore did not fully serve the local community. As a result of the strategic review there was a need for a new fire station location within the Spelthorne area so as to enable the older inefficient stations of Staines and Sunbury to be amalgamated into a single new ‘bespoke’ facility. Following extensive searches within the core boundary area the Staines Road West (A308) site at Ashford was selected as providing the optimum available location.
