Project Overview

We were appointed to deliver a complete electrical and life-safety installation for a specialist training centre operated by Linkage. The project involved transforming the building into a modern, safe, and fully compliant learning environment, designed to support both staff and trainees with reliable infrastructure, future capacity, and energy efficiency at its core.

This was a full package project, covering design, installation, testing, certification, and as-installed documentation.

Scope of Works

Full Electrical Rewire

  • Complete removal of outdated wiring systems
  • Installation of new distribution circuits throughout
  • Modernised infrastructure designed for present and future load demands

Addressable Fire Alarm System

  • Full design and installation of an addressable fire detection and alarm system
  • Zoning tailored to building layout and occupancy type
  • Detection, sounders, call points, and control equipment installed to current standards
  • Fire alarm plans, design documentation, and system specifications provided

Intruder Alarm Installation

  • Full building security coverage
  • Detection devices positioned for maximum protection
  • Control system installed to support staff safety and asset protection

Data Installation

  • Structured cabling system throughout the facility
  • Data points installed to training rooms, offices, and operational areas
  • Network infrastructure supporting modern digital learning and administration

Solar PV & Battery Storage

  • Solar photovoltaic system installed to reduce grid dependency
  • Battery storage system enabling energy optimisation and load management
  • Designed to lower operational costs and improve sustainability credentials

Containment & Distribution

  • Dado trunking system installed throughout teaching and work areas
  • Provides safe, accessible containment for power and data
  • Allows future flexibility and easy expansion
  • Fuse board (distribution board) upgrade to support new installation loads

Lighting Systems

  • Full internal lighting installation using energy-efficient fittings
  • Emergency lighting system installed to ensure safe evacuation
  • External lighting added for site safety and security
  • External emergency lighting to support safe exit routes

Testing & Certification

  • Full electrical testing of all circuits and systems
  • Certification provided in accordance with current regulations
  • Verification of life-safety systems for compliance and performance

Design & Documentation Package

As part of our turnkey service, we delivered:

  • Electrical schematics and circuit documentation
  • Fire alarm design drawings and plans
  • System specifications
  • As-installed information for ongoing maintenance and compliance
  • Ongoing real-time performance monitoring

Outcome

The completed installation has delivered:

  • A fully compliant and modern electrical system
  • Safe learning and working environments for staff and trainees
  • Integrated life-safety and security systems
  • Future-ready data and power infrastructure
  • Reduced energy costs through solar and battery technology
  • Clear documentation to support long-term maintenance

Looking Ahead

The Linkage Training Centre now benefits from a robust, efficient, and scalable electrical installation designed to support its educational operations for years to come.
