Essex County Council County Hall, Chelmsford

The Brief

Omnium’s London team was appointed to partner with sustainable building services experts WP3 Ltd to deliver MEP feasibility studies for Essex County Council’s County Hall development in Chelmsford, UK. County Hall is a complex development with far-reaching proposals for its development in order to reach net zero. MEP is a crucial part of this work, and Omnium worked alongside WP3 to assess existing services and to calculate the works required to bring the buildings up to date in line with the client’s specification. Feasibility studies focused on main plant, infrastructure and utilities, including gas, heating and cooling, ventilation, power installation, fire detection and prevention, drainage, water supply and building management systems.

Omnium’s Experience

Omnium’s UK team was a perfect partner for WP3 in this feasibility work, combining 50 years of Omnium’s Cost Consultancy and Quantity Surveying expertise with WP3’s sustainability-focused design and infrastructure strategic skills to deliver expert advice for the local authority client. Applying knowledge and understanding gained across multiple similar projects in our global portfolio, Omnium International’s UK branch office established a strong partnership for effective collaboration with WP3 from the outset, resulting in thorough recommendations to guide Essex County Council in its development objectives, budget and project planning.
