The Details
PROJECT OVERVIEW
IDES Electrical Services were appointed by Jones & Andrews Ltd to deliver the complete electrical installation for a large sports retail store in Glasgow city centre. The project formed part of a major new store opening, requiring a comprehensive electrical package to support the creation of a modern retail environment and provide the infrastructure necessary for day-to-day retail operations.
THE CHALLENGE
The project required the delivery of a full electrical installation within a demanding retail fit-out programme, involving the coordination of multiple contractors and trades working simultaneously to achieve a fixed store opening date.
Located within a prominent city-centre retail unit, the project included the installation of power, lighting, data infrastructure, fire alarm systems and Building Management System connections throughout the facility. Careful planning and flexible working arrangements, including evening working, were required to maintain programme milestones and ensure all systems were delivered on schedule.
OUR SOLUTION
Working alongside Jones & Andrews Ltd, IDES delivered a complete turnkey electrical package, managing the installation through to final testing and commissioning. The works included new electrical distribution infrastructure, power systems, lighting, emergency lighting, data infrastructure, fire alarm systems and Building Management System wiring throughout the store.
New galvanised containment systems were installed throughout the facility, together with new distribution boards and electrical infrastructure designed to support both customer-facing retail operations and back-of-house functions. Lighting installations were completed in accordance with the client’s specification across all retail, stockroom and staff areas, helping to create an engaging shopping environment while supporting efficient day-to-day operations.
