J S Wright secures £4m contract

Mechanical and electrical building services specialist J S Wright is to fit out the first phase of the Paradise Birmingham development.

One and Two Chamberlain Square in Birmingham.

J S Wright, which has its headquarters in Birmingham and an office in London, has been awarded a contract exceeding £4m by BAM Construction for the m&e infrastructure, basement and external services for two new Grade A office buildings, One and Two Chamberlain Square.

The wide-ranging mechanical works will include installing rainwater and above ground drainage, chilled water plant with distribution to serve neighbouring Birmingham Town Hall, and car park ventilation systems.

J S Wright will also install commercial landlord systems including sprinklers, general ventilation services for the plant room and communal areas, and boosted mains cold water plant for distribution including landscape irrigation. All the services will be controlled by a central Building Management System (BMS).

The electrical works will involve the installation, testing and commissioning of the mains distribution network, including an uninterruptible power system and commercial landlord switchboards, along with sub-main distribution cabling and small power distribution.

J S Wright will also provide lighting and emergency lighting, access control, CCTV equipment, door security and fire alarms, and car park lighting.

Work on site is scheduled for completion at the end of 2019.
