Project Summary
Jaguar Projects were tasked with replacing the BMS system serving The Glades shopping centre in Bromley, beginning the process of modernising the controls system within the shopping centre. This included upgrading the 8 main controllers which made up the main network, new headend supervisor within the engineering office and the setup of remote dial-in facilities to allow security and maintenance teams to have greater visibility of the site.
The Glades is a shopping centre in Bromley, England. It has a total of 135 stores trading from a combined floorspace of 464,000 sq ft. The continued operation of the centre meant the works had to be undertaken out of normal hours and the site had to remain fully operational for the duration of the works, with zero interruption to the centre or its tenants.
Works were completed on a phased approach, with full testing and commissioning carried out on completion to ensure that there was no site impact.
Jaguar Projects were the appointed Principal Contractor for the project, working alongside the client appointed Principal Designer.
The unique nature of this site and the working conditions led to a challenging project that require precise planning in advance of any works taking place. Working closely alongside our specialist supply chain we were able to implement the new system in a way that kept the shops trading and tenants unaware our works were ongoing.
The client teams provided support throughout the whole lifecycle of the project and made the job a pleasure to be involved with. We are looking forward to returning in 2026 to continue the works with Phase 2.
