Always on
Stations, detachments and dispatch centres operate around the clock. Heating, power, communications and door controls must work every hour, so renovations are planned around live operations.
We stage work in zones, provide temporary power or systems where needed, and agree shutdown windows in advance. Because our electrical and mechanical crews are our own, we can sequence outages precisely.
Spaces with special needs
Fire halls need apparatus bays with tall doors, vehicle exhaust capture, floor drains, wash areas and quick egress. Police buildings include evidence storage, interview rooms, holding areas, secure entries and training rooms.
Each of these has requirements around security, ventilation, finishes and acoustics. Our in-house engineering team helps resolve them early in design.
Power, communications and security
Emergency facilities depend on backup power and reliable data. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, installs generator connections, distribution and lighting. Our low voltage team handles alarms, surveillance, access control and networks.
Security of the building itself matters as much as its function, so we keep cabling, panels and system access controlled.
Fire stations include sleeping quarters, kitchens, gyms and decontamination areas. Police facilities include offices and lockers. Our interior systems, millwork and painting crews build durable spaces that handle round-the-clock use.
Plan for these items
Agencies should plan:
- Temporary operations during construction
- Backup power and fuel storage
- Apparatus bay door and exhaust upgrades
- Secure parking and sally ports
- Staff change rooms and wellness spaces
Getting started
Tell us what must stay running, and we will plan around it. We map every outage, temporary system and shift change into the schedule before work starts. Our calls and email are answered 24/7/365, a rhythm that suits owners who run around the clock.
Questions we hear
Can a station remain operational during renovation?
Typically, yes. We phase the work, keep apparatus bays clear when required and coordinate outages in advance.
