SES Engineering Services has won a £43 million mechanical and electrical (M&E) contract to help deliver a new military rehab facility in Leicestershire.

The contractor will work in partnership with Interserve to develop the £300 million Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre (DNRC) at the Stanford Hall estate near Loughborough.

SES will provide full M&E services on the development, which is set to become operational in 2018.

David Mason, Executive Business Director at SES, said: "We have delivered numerous projects with Interserve over many years and have formed an inclusive and collaborative working relationship with them to ensure the delivery of a truly world-class facility.

"The project involves highly complex site logistics, based around the refurbishment of the grade 2 listed Stanford Hall with over 20 separate new builds in close proximity and up to 1,000 workers on site at any given time. It also lies in registered parkland where there are numerous restrictions and planning conditions that must be adhered to. All of this requires a managed and considerate approach to the installation of new M&E services.

"This project is not just about building a new facility, we are proud to be able to offer a number of employment opportunities to former service-men and women as part of this project including logistics, progress, quality and monitoring."

Mark Green, DNRC Project Director at Interserve, added: "SES has worked closely with Interserve and the clients team to develop value driven solutions that not only meet the clients requirements but will provide a facility that will be both environmentally friendly and cost effective to run."
