ISG has been appointed by Cheshire Fire Authority (CFA) to develop a new fire station in Warrington.

The deal is part of a wider four-year capital build framework worth over £22 million.

The company is underway with the construction of the station in Penketh, which comprises of a lightweight steel frame structure with a green sedum roof.

ISG has also been declared as Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service's preferred contractor to build two other new stations in Lymm and Powey Lane, Mollington, close to the M56.


These make a combined project value of approximately £16m.

The facility at Lymm is to be a five-bay fire station and safety training centre, which will combine a modern fire station, with space for five fire fighting vehicles, staff quarters, yard and fire training.

An advanced training facility and safety centre will also be developed.

In addition, an eight-bay fire station close to the end of the M56 has also been planned.

The building will include a lightweight steel frame building with block, render and cladding elevations housing specialist firefighting equipment and rescue vehicles.

Danny Murray, ISG's Northern regional MD, said: "The North West Construction Hub continues to prove a highly efficient procurement vehicle to bring important front-line community facilities to site quickly and cost-effectively."
