ISG InteriorExterior lands £20 million airport hotel scheme
ISG InteriorExterior has secured a circa
£20 million project with TAG, the company that operates
Farnborough Airport, to build a new four star plus hotel. The
169-bed, four-storey facility with views across the Airport will
be operated by Dakota Hotels; the fast growing hotel chain that
provides stylish and affordable accommodation for business
travellers.
Work on the striking Hamilton Associates designed building has
now commenced, with ISG InteriorExterior currently erecting the
hotel’s reinforced concrete frame. The stylish design of the
hotel features a complex curvilinear metal roof structure with a
central curved atrium and glass and aluminium cladding to the
façade. The high specification facilities include nine meeting
rooms for up to 70 delegates, executive lounge and residents’
gym, as well as a large dining room and bar area.
The specification of pre-fabricated bathroom pods for the
project will enable ISG InteriorExterior to make reductions to
the overall project programme and minimise the number of trade
contractors on site. The off site manufactured pods will be
delivered to site when required and then craned into position,
with the installation completed once the pods are connected up
to key services. The project is scheduled for completion early
in 2008.
Steve Trotter, Managing Director of ISG InteriorExterior
commented: “Working close to one of Europe's busiest private
airports has presented a number of challenges for the site team,
especially when working ‘air side’ and with restrictions on the
type and height of cranes that can be used on the scheme. ISG
InteriorExterior has worked closely with TAG to develop and
implement a robust schedule of works that conforms to the
strictest client parameters, whilst delivering to the highest of
expectations with an on-time delivery of the project.”
