Project SLAM, UK MoD

Project SLAM, stands for ‘Single Living Accommodation Modernisation’, which is a long-running contract to provide thousands of single personnel bedrooms for the MoD. The programme has been in operation for over 12 years and more than 22,800 bedspaces, including eleven messes & one ancillary building and has been one of the largest new build and refurbishment projects in the UK. Our Defence Director was the lead architect for the new SLAM block at RAF Wittering which was a 4-storey accommodation block to house Senior Non-Commissioned Officers and Junior Ranks at the RAF base and comprised of some 200 bed spaces across 2 blocks.

Our services have included, project management, architecture, civil and structural engineering, mechanical, electrical, and public health engineering, cost management, risk management, fire engineering, feasibility studies, options development, and environmental, sustainability and DREAM assessments.

We have recently completed the design for SLA renovation works at Combermere Barracks which was a small 6-unit renovation and at Hyde Park Barracks which was a larger 7 storey SLA including full renovation of all living accommodation and ancillary facilities.
