Construction News Image
A joint venture (JV) between Balfour Beatty and Kier Construction has handed over a new Army training facility in Wiltshire.

The £121m project was delivered by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).

It was built by the 'Hercules' JV at the former RAG Lyneham airbase.

The new facility is part of a £230m investment in the site by the MOD to provide new accommodation for trainees.

Other features include new classrooms, training suites, a large outdoor training area, a medical and dental centre, a gymnasium, an Officers' Mess and a new regimental museum.

Roger Frost, Balfour Beatty Project Director for Hercules, said: "We are delighted to have worked on such a high profile major project for DIO.

"The scale of the 93-week construction project, which spans a 1,200 acre site and has employed over 1400 individuals at construction peak and 40 local companies during its lifetime, should not be underestimated – it reflects Balfour Beatty and Kier's reputation for safely delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions."
