Project Overview

Shelley College required a complete upgrade of its ageing electrical infrastructure as part of a wider refurbishment programme. Existing electrical systems had reached the end of their operational life and no longer supported the demands of modern educational facilities.

The project involved stripping out existing electrical installations following the removal of roof and floor structures before undertaking a full electrical reinstatement throughout the building. Our team delivered a complete rewire, new data infrastructure, containment systems and upgraded power distribution to provide a future-proof solution capable of supporting the school’s current and future requirements.

Careful coordination with other contractors was essential to ensure works progressed efficiently, maintaining programme deadlines while delivering the highest levels of workmanship and compliance.
