FDS is pleased to announce that after an 18-month design and construction process, we have been awarded the 999k sprinkler installation package for the New Lyde Green Schools in Bristol.
The 420-place, primary school will be run by the Castle School Education Trust (CSET), and the 900-place, 11-16 secondary school will be run by Olympus Academy Trust. Both trusts are well-established, operating multiple schools across the region.
The total project funding is more than £58.3 million.
The buildings will be built to Passivhaus standards, which means they will be highly energy efficient, optimised to be net zero, making them significantly cheaper to run over the next two years, the two new schools will be delivered, before being handed over to the two Trusts in order for them to prepare to welcome new students to begin learning on site in September 2026.
We’re proud to be contributing to this groundbreaking project and helping create state-of-the-art educational facilities for future generations.
FDS contract consists of
- 180m3 Sprinkler tank
- Diesel and Electrical driven Pumps
- 4 wet valve Sets
- 15 Zone Check Units
- 4500 Sprinkler Heads
