Projects

The Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre

Loughborough

  • Sector: healthcare
  • Status: Completed
  • SQ M: 47,000
  • Developer: Chek Whyte
  • Main Contractor: Interserve Construction Limited
  • M&E Engineers: 1st Step Solutions
  • Architect: Steffian Bradley Architects

LIGHTING CONTROL HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Hardwired hubs were featured across the facility. SPH 27’s, SPH 48’s featured in circulation areas, external areas and consultant rooms
  • A number of buildings on the project are not connected, therefore the IP area controllers are utilised to allow the client lighting control over their own network

DID YOU KNOW:

  • The Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre (DNRC) programme is the brainchild of the late 6th Duke of Westminster. The concept originated from the Duke’s desire to create a 21st century successor to the Defence rehabilitation facility at Headley Court in Surrey and, on the same site, a future National facility to treat civilians with major trauma injuries
  • The late Duke served for over 40 years in the British Reserve Army and witnessed the price paid by many members of the armed forces during their service. He felt strongly that we owe those who volunteer to fight for our country the best possible care and rehabilitation if they are injured during training or in conflict
  • Funded entirely by charitable donations the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC Stanford Hall) was completed in 2018 and is now operational by the Ministry of Defence as the UK’s leading facility for trauma rehabilitation of those in the armed forces

Simmtronic have delivered a large number of technically challenging projects for DBS and consistently continued to provide outstanding service. Their support, guidance and help throughout the process has been exceptional, working closely with our design teams to ensure the right solution for the project and a sound understanding of the brief, with our delivery teams to ensure the installation and commissioning are trouble free and then providing fantastic after care to the customer. They have added true engineered value into the projects they have been involved in for Derry Building Services.

Simmtronic have been a valued member of the DBS supply chain for over 10 years. Their pro-active and collaborative approach to lighting controls from the design stage, through to commissioning is highly valued by both our Design and Delivery Engineers.

Over the years I have really appreciated the Simmtronic ability to provide responsive support and listening to projects and clients needs. More recently the Simmtronic team has shown the capability to embrace the connectivity requirements of the Internet of Things by quickly adding MQTT to their range of integration protocols. This will greatly facilitate telemetry applications in buildings and the development of interconnected solutions that will make buildings more usable and easier to operate.

Simmtronic as an organisation has been, for the last 18 years, by far the best performing and most reliable lighting control system I use. From design through to commissioning and soft landings with the landlord teams Simmtronic always deliver on my projects. Simmtronic technology evolution is not just pushed through like others, but rather properly tested internally first, giving us as client teams the assurance that what Simmtronic say they can offer is 100% delivered, an absolute must with fast track major projects.

Simmtronic has constantly been available at an early stage to engage both with the designers and the Contracting team to assist with design solutions and to test options. This ultimately assists us in de-risking the project during the commissioning phase which usually defines when the project is completed. Simmtronic is seen as ‘industry standard’ and it is always encouraging to see them involved.
