Building Services & Sustainability
FES integrated energy-efficient building services using low-carbon technologies. Heating, cooling, and ventilation are provided through heat recovery air handling units and air source heat pumps, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the office. Water systems, including domestic hot and cold water distribution, are designed for reliability and efficiency. The project also allows early IT infrastructure installation via Room Ready zones.

Electrical & Life Safety Systems
The existing HV/LV substation was reused, and new standby generators were installed to provide continuous power for critical systems. FES delivered full electrical infrastructure, including:

• General and architectural lighting with controls
• Emergency lighting and life safety systems
• Power distribution and busbar infrastructure
• Fire alarms and sprinkler protection

End-to-End Project Delivery
FES managed design, coordination, installation, and commissioning, using a digital model to ensure seamless integration of services without compromising the building’s architectural features. The result is a fully operational, sustainable office environment that meets BlackRock’s functional, safety, and aesthetic objectives.

FES was appointed by Robertson Construction as the MEP delivery partner for the BioHub, a landmark development within Aberdeen’s Foresterhill Health Campus.  The facility is one of Europe’s largest integrated clinical, research, and teaching sites. Opened in 2023, BioHub is designed to foster collaboration between academia, healthcare, and industry, providing world-class facilities that can support up to 400 scientific entrepreneurs and help double the number of life sciences companies in the region by 2027.

As a hub for innovation and enterprise, BioHub offers bespoke laboratory and office space, incubation facilities for start-ups, and dedicated areas for training and collaboration. We played a key role in enabling the building’s high-performance and sustainable design, delivering all mechanical and electrical building services installations. In response to local infrastructure constraints, the facility operates entirely without reliance on natural gas, instead utilising air source heat pumps and electric boilers to meet all heating and hot water requirements, demonstrating a strong commitment to low-carbon operation and energy efficiency.

In collaboration with Robertson Construction, FES contributed to meaningful community benefits throughout the project’s delivery. This included providing work placements, three of which led directly to new electrical apprenticeships launched on the BioHub project. Through this combination of technical excellence and social value, FES is proud to have supported a development that is driving Scotland’s life sciences sector forward while investing in the next generation of skilled professionals.

FES delivered MEP services for Barclays’ landmark financial campus. Part of a wider regeneration initiative, the project brings 500,000 sq ft of Grade A office space to the south side of the River Clyde, supporting 5,000 employees and combining modern workspaces with heritage restoration.

The campus blends new-build architecture with the careful restoration of Clyde Place House and the BECO building. Three main buildings include offices, retail, gyms, restaurants, and assembly spaces, while the heritage structures provide flexible multi-use areas. Additional facilities such as wellbeing spaces, exhibition areas, and a street food market enhance both employee experience and community engagement.

Strategically located opposite Glasgow’s International Financial Services District, the campus offers excellent transport links, including bus, rail, cycling networks, and nearby motorway access. Sustainable features include EV charging, active travel options, and high-efficiency building systems, underlining the project’s low-carbon design and contribution to local regeneration.

We delivered all MEP systems across the campus, from design and coordination to full installation. Our team integrated modern services with heritage structures, supporting early Cat B fit-outs and ensuring long-term performance, safety, and efficiency.

FES has been working alongside BAM Construction to deliver a new major mixed-use development between York Street and James Watt Street in Glasgow’s International Financial Services District (IFSD) with capacity for 1,200 workers over 284,000 sq ft.

Atlantic Square will include one 10-storey commercial building and one six-storey building, with space for commercial offices and high-quality retail shops.

This works comprise of low temperature hot water installation, chilled water installation, domestic water services & above ground drainage installations, rain water harvest system, air conditioning, dry riser, sprinkler system, ventilation installation, smoke and car park vent installations, HV, LV, small power, lighting, fire alarm, PAVA, data, security, road blockers, speed gates, lightning protection, lighting controls & generators.

FES has been working closely with BAM Design to develop designs for M&E Specialist Systems to incorporate into our BIM Model Level 2. FES prefabricated solutions provided rooftop package plantrooms, riser modules, roof modules and floorplate modules to support the fast track installation to meet programme requirements.

FES Ltd was fully responsible for the MEP services on the new 155,000sq.ft Grade A Office pre-let to Morgan Stanley

With its busy inner city location and the structure’s site footprint having no lay-down areas, particular consideration was given at the design development / technical design stages with regard to the logistics element. Modules were designed in relation to maximum transportation limitations, onsite access and our lifting strategy, so that a seamless process was in place to support the construction schedule.

We engineered a model digitally to interrogate the design to a high level of detail, in conjunction with the client and design teams.

Using our Digital Engineering / Pre-Fabricated Solutions philosophy, modular components were delivered and installed on site, avoiding the risks of traditional onsite methods to offer the benefits of lean manufacturing, time, safety and sustainability. Site logistics were digitally coordinated with overnight deliveries scheduled to reduce disturbance and traffic.

The main plant is situated within the basement and roof levels with horizontal and vertical distribution around the building to meet with the architect’s layout drawings.The programme was reduced as the high level on floor service installation and services within the risers were then fully modularised, delivered and installed with the steel frame of the building.

FES Ltd are fully responsible for the fit-out and MEP services on the new 313,000sq. ft Grade A Office and 8,000sq. ft rooftop terrace complete with a running track at 177 Bothwell Street for HFD Construction. The new building has been designed to meet the needs of a future multi-tenant dwelling, with leading edge technologies, providing the ideal office environment.

With its busy inner-city location and the structure’s site footprint having no lay-down areas, a key challenge for FES was to develop an offsite approach. Consideration was given at the design development / technical design stages with regard to the logistics element, so that the modules would be designed in relation to maximum transportation limitations, onsite access and our lifting strategy, so that a seamless process was in place to support the construction schedule.

The fit out of a new 37,500m2 (gross Internal floor area) office building with basement, lower ground and thirteen upper levels at the site.  This development will provide circa 28,500m2 of net internal space with large efficient floor plates.  The building will be 84% Floor to Ceiling Glazing

FES is proud to have been involved in the build of the new Headquarters for BBC Scotland.

Pacific Quay is situated just outside Glasgow on the River Clyde, opposite the SECC and next to the
Science Centre.

The new building is a dynamic broadcasting centre and a benchmark in terms of state-of-the-art technology and production methods, across TV, radio and online.

All BBC Scotland’s national broadcast output comes from here, including the hugely popular Reporting Scotland, Frontline Scotland and Sportscene. Pacific Quay reception is open to the public and from interactive displays to viewing pods there is plenty to see and do.

A key feature of this project was to provide an infrastructure which met the client’s current requirements and also to ensure the facilities could readily adapt to ever changing technologies with minimal disruption to production capability.
