RAF Lakenheath Squadron Operations 1 (Strike Eagle) AND 2
Project name: Squadron Operations (Strike Eagle) RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk
Client: DIO / USAF
M&E Order Value: £7.6 million
Contractor: Kier
Dodd Group carried out the design, installation and commissioning of Electrical and Mechanical Services to two operations facility for 2 squadrons at RAF Lakenheath including standby generator, UPS and Air Conditioning Systems to full briefing facilities.
A challenging aspect was the SKIF area. The SKIF was a high secure area within the building that required any conversation inside being prevented from reaching beyond the SKIF walls. This included introducing breaks in metal services through penetrations (i.e. adapting to plastic), transition to fibre optics, extreme acoustic measures, white noise speakers and more.
The facilities include offices, receptions, briefing rooms, lecture theatre, gymnasium, feeder and recreational facilities and workshops.
