HMRC Newcastle

HMRC Newcastle, United Kingdom

In the late 1990's HMRC, then the DSS & The Department of Working Pensions (DWP), embarked upon an extensive redevelopment of 12 sites within the Tyne and Wear area. This development covers over 2 million square feet and is a major administration centre for the United Kingdom employing over 16,000 staff. This makes the Newcastle estate one of the largest employers in the North East of England.

One of the prime objectives was to integrate environmental sustainable development into the daily running of the Estate. It was essential that the development and the on-going management and maintenance (which was awarded to Interserve FM), be carried out in such a way as to minimise the impact on the day-to-day conduct of business. The estate is separated into 4 different sites, the 2 largest being Benton Park View (15 Buildings) and Tyne View Park (9 Buildings). These buildings are controlled by the Cylon BEMS. The controls were installed and are maintained by Astral Control Services. A key requirement in the use of Cylon products was that the project dictated a high standard of energy efficiency, which required a "BREEM Rating" (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) of very good.
