J Tomlinson has been awarded a £2.6 million mechanical and electrical engineering (M&E) contract by Vinci Construction UK to work on a new motorway services area development.
Work has recently got under way on the scheme for Moto at junction one of the M6 at Rugby, with Nottingham-based J Tomlinson due to start on site in October.
The £23.4 million project includes extensive parking and circulation facilities, a fully serviced amenity building featuring restaurants and retail units, a fuel filling station and a Costa drive-through.
J Tomlinson's role will include the complete M&E works for the site such as new low-voltage (LV) mains network including distribution across the site to different buildings, general and feature lighting, power, fire alarm, access control, CCTV, security, disabled alarms and lightning protection, along with mechanical services such as heating, hot and cold water, drainage, sanitary ware, comfort cooling, underfloor heating, air handling plant, ductwork, building management system, and back-up liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipework.
The company will also be responsible for developing an external energy centre, complete with biomass boiler and fuel store, as well as buried external, cross-site services such as water, gas, electricity and heating.
Mark Mason, operations manager (M&E) at J Tomlinson, said: "This is a significant scheme which will provide a range of services to travellers on the M6, one of the UK's key motorways. J Tomlinson is delighted to have been appointed to this contract and will bring considerable experience to the team developing the site."
