MKP designed the mechanical
and electrical services for the
extension of construction hall b2,
ship building facility for Vosper
Thorneycroft surface fleet division.
The building is used for producing
key parts of the new Type 45
destroyers at its new £60m yard
in portsmouth. This building is an
important maritime manufacturing
facility located in this historic naval
dockyard.
This is an industrial building on an
impressive scale, housing two tiers
of heavy-duty overhead cranes.
The development, deep within the
royal naval base, was complicated
by an instruction not to interrupt the
base’s construction capabilities,
aswell as a 37-week build time.
nonetheless the M&E services
installation on the construction hall
was completed two weeks ahead
of schedule.
