Liverpool firm starts work on £11m MEP installation

Liverpool-based HE Simm, one of the UK’s leading MEP providers, has commenced work on the delivery of an £11m Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP) installation at the Embankment West scheme in Manchester.

The contract will see the company work across around 500 apartments and suites for main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine, for end client Select Property Group.

The PRS and managed apartment development will create a vibrant new city centre neighbourhood in Salford near to Manchester’s central business and retail district.

It is within walking distance of the city’s key employment hubs, popular stores and leisure spots, major transport links and education centres.

Full design and build MEP services, along with the use of offsite manufacturing techniques, will be delivered via a local labour force from the Greater Manchester area. Six apprentices will also form part of the delivery team.

Ian Bruce, business unit director for HE Simm in Manchester, said: “We have a long-standing, successful, relationship with Sir Robert McAlpine so moving on to our next PRS scheme with them, for Select Property Group, is exciting for us as a business and, for the delivery team itself.

“We look forward to completing our part of the project safely, on time and on budget for a handover in December 2020.”

HE Simm is based in Liverpool, and also operates out of Manchester and London.
