Project Allenby/Connaught (PAC) is one of the largest private finance initiatives (PFIs) ever let by the Ministry of Defence (MOD)

Project Details

Location

ABP construction works have been carried out at four military garrisons on Salisbury Plain Training Area and at Aldershot, the home of the British Army. Other ABP works have also taken place in prominent locations within the garrison communities (i.e. beside main through routes).

Materials

Fire rated Door Sets finished in timber veneer and a range of laminates.

The Project is founded on the shared aim of MOD and Aspire Defence to make soldiers’ lives better through provision of high quality, purpose built, fully-serviced living, working and technical accommodation.

Aspire Defence Capital Works is delivering around 130 new assets at garrisons across Salisbury Plain Training Area and at Aldershot, to cater for British troops rebasing from Germany in 2019 and units relocating within the UK. ADCW is also building community facilities to meet the increased demand for local healthcare and education provision by Service families moving into the area.

Around 2,600 bed spaces will be provided for single soldiers, with more than 200 alterations, refurbishments, extensions and demolitions. The ABP construction programme includes delivery of a complex technical build for the Royal Artillery at Larkhill, which will become the largest asset of its kind in Defence.
