The Works
The works consisted of the design and build of a new Fire Station in Dursley. Working closely with our design team in collaboration with the Fire Service and Gloucestershire County Council, We were able to maximise the potential of the sloping nature of the site, providing a building design which provided storage of the fire tenders at first floor (street) level, with accommodation and ancillary / training areas provided on additional lower and upper floors
