Share | |

Alcester-based EIC has won a £2m contract for the revamp of Olympic sporting facilities in Birmingham.

The building services provider has been appointed to install mechanical and electrical services at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, which is set to be used as an Olympic training base.

The project involves the construction of a new stand for spectators along the back straight of the running track which is also set to include office and gym facilities. Stourport on Severn-based Thomas Vale Construction is also working on the project on behalf of Birmingham City Council.

EIC said its contract includes the installation of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, domestic water services, small power, lighting, CCTV and security to the new stand, offices and gym.

Ian Lyall, joint managing director of EIC, said: "EIC has a great deal of past experience in the sports and leisure sector we are delighted to be continuing in the same vein with this recent contract win.

"The Alexander Stadium is a great project which will ultimately benefit both visiting athletes and the city's residents. We are certainly looking to this sector as an area for future expansion of our business, building on our relationships with major contractors and end user clients."
