The CCG Group, one of Scotland’s largest privately-owned construction and manufacturing companies, successfully concluded a major fire door replacement programme in South Lanarkshire recently. Undertaken on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council, the company supplied and installed over 2,253 FD60 flat entrance and common door sets in 10 high-rise residential flatted blocks, across East Kilbride and Cambuslang in just 18 months. CCG has now begun a second, multi-phased programme with over 1700 doorsets supporting a further 1000 residences in East Kilbride, Cambuslang, Hamilton and Rutherglen as part of a 12-month, £5.4m workstream.
FD60 doors are designed to mitigate the spread of fire, gases and smoke in a building for 60 minutes with the purpose of protecting lives and the remainder of the building or other buildings around it. CCG’s doors are fabricated using engineered timber, which is naturally fire-resistant, from their bespoke manufacturing premises in Cambuslang. They are then installed by their in-house planned maintenance division, Asset Management.
CCG Asset Management Manager, Jim Cunningham, says: “CCG first launched as a small heating and plumbing contractor in 1974. These are services that Asset Management (AM) is still responsible for to this day, including fire door replacements, so the completion of this multi-phase programme carries a lot of significance as it truly highlights how our division and wider business has grown and evolved 50 years on.” The fire door replacement planned maintenance workstream was procured via the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) C8 framework.
