Background
Following the successful completion of the Single Living Accommodation (SLA) blocks for the British Army at Elizabeth and Alexander Barracks in Pirbright, Rollalong was appointed to construct a 70-bed SLA block at Keogh Barracks in Aldershot as a turnkey project, including all groundworks and landscaping.
Outcome
With a proven design and configuration, this project was quick to start and progressed efficiently and effectively through to completion within 10 months, thanks in large part to the close collaboration of PriDE and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).
This 70-bed single living accommodation block at Keogh Barracks is another example of how Rollalong can deliver volume and complex projects successfully and within a demanding timeframe. Because of Rollalong’s experience of working within active MOD facilities this turnkey project caused little or no impact to the MOD base or the local environment.
Client feedback
“DIO ABP has once again been extremely pleased with the work ethic displayed by the management and project team from Rollalong. The Junior Ranks Single Living Accommodation at Keogh Barracks had a very demanding delivery programme which caused a number of stakeholders to disbelieve that we could deliver on time and budget.
“The commitment provided by Rollalong meant all timelines and budgets were achieved. A very big thank you to all involved, especially the on-site project team.”
Scott Ross, DIO, Senior Requirements Manager
“I would like to thank Rollalong for providing a working environment that was clean, waste free and remarkably noise free. Rollalong’s communication with the regiment has been exemplary, in particular with regard to traffic management and the minimal impact on normal daily activity.”
James Founds, Warrant Officer 2, Regimental Quarter Master Sergeant
