Project: Lippitts Hill Camp Air Support Unit

Lippitts Hill Camp is the base for the Metropolitan Police’s helicopter fleet.  Bolt & Heeks were engaged to upgrade the base in readiness for 2012.  The works required us to decommission and replace the existing fuel facility together with the installation of a resilience dispenser unit to provide increased capacity.

Alterations and modifications to the gauging and wet stock management systems were also undertaken together with the installation of a new enviroceptor and drainage modifications.

This was a highly technical and complex project, but the Bolt & Heeks team were able to complete the project on time and to budget.
