Leading building services and facilities management provider, Inviron, is undertaking the electrical and mechanical installation at Manchester's Media City, the new home of the BBC's sports, children's and breakfast programmes.

Working alongside principal contractor, Overbury, Inviron's installation includes general and emergency lighting, lighting controls, power, fire alarm systems and plumbing services to the three BBC buildings on Manchester's Salford Quays.

Jason Hanson, operations manager at Inviron, said: "The greatest challenge of this project is working in all three buildings at once, ensuring that all works are fully co-ordinated and to programme.

"Therefore, we've put a defined site management structure in place to meet this challenge, and to ensure that all three buildings are ready when the BBC relocate in November."

Dan Hooker, Overbury's commercial manager, commented: "It's really exciting for us to be working with Inviron on one of the largest fit out projects in the North West. 

"This is a demanding scheme to work on but, at what has proved to be a challenging time in the construction and property markets, having an anchor tenant like the BBC commit to such an important project in the North has been a real boost and created opportunities for local companies like us and Inviron to get involved. It is great to be part of something that will really support the growth of the region."
