DALKIA UK’s Scottish team has been contracted to deliver the full mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) package for the redevelopment of Penicuik High School in Midlothian.
Main contractor Morrison Construction is leading the construction phase of a project that will see a three-storey extension built as well as the refurbishment of an existing 1930s building.
Dalkia revealed its MEP solution has been developed to carefully balance the preservation of the historic heritage building with the delivery of modern, sustainable building services. The works are helping to improve the energy performance through mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) systems and intelligent controls. This will also support compliance with the Learning Estate Investment Programme and Midlothian Council’s net zero objectives, while ensuring the character and integrity of the existing building is maintained.
“Our appointment at Penicuik High School reflects our proven ability to deliver complex MEP installations on major education projects,” said John Irvine, regional director at Dalkia. “Combining new-build and refurbishment works, this project will transform the school estate, and our experience in the education sector will help ensure its successful delivery.”
