Refurbishment

Camels Head Fire Station will undergo a refurbishment and redesign to become a more modern, practical space. Our Estates department is leading a team of consultants in this work.

This work forms part of our estate improvement programme ensuring our firefighters and local communities remain safe and fully supported.

The refurbishment will:

• improve thermal efficiency
• safeguard the structural frame against environmental deterioration
• address historic issues of moisture and dampness.

The redesign of the internal accommodation will prevent any cross-contamination between operational and administrative areas, improving the operational movement throughout the building.

Diversity, inclusion, and sustainability are key considerations for this project. These include the creation of self-contained restrooms and gender-neutral welfare facilities. An emphasis will be placed on low-carbon technologies and a large proportion of the building's energy usage will be generated by renewable sources.

Throughout the work, all of the wholetime crews will remain on-site and be fully operational.

At set times crews will move to different parts of the building, creating vacant areas that can be refurbished.
