Four fire stations updated
August 2016

The UK branch of aluminium window, door and façade systems supplier HUECK has helped rebuild four London fire stations that were no longer fit for purpose.

As part of a Private Finance Initiative project, the London Fire Brigade commissioned a rebuilding programme for some of its facilities that were in a poor condition and did not meet modern standards and requirements.

Four of these - Mitcham, Plaistow, Orpington and Old Kent Road, have been reconstructed using Hueck’s aluminium window and door suite, Lambda 77 L, and its Trigon 50 curtain wall system.

The project was delivered by Blue 3, a consortium led by Kier, and was finalised this year.

Hueck UK project development director, Leon Friend, said: “The modern buildings replace facilities that were 50-100 years old.

“Hueck has designed a bespoke building envelope solution that helps to minimise the facilities’ environmental impact through a series of innovative energy efficiency features. As a result, all the new fire stations supplied by Hueck achieved an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating.”
