Sulzer

We are extremely pleased to announce our partnership with Sulzer — one of the two largest contractors dominating the current Scottish Building Services scene. Our first quarter results were excellent, and winning this contract consolidates our mid to long term strategy; we are on-course for an excellent year-half if not the whole of 1990!

The Sulzer contract stretches our resources to the limit, but with careful management we do not foresee too many logistical problems. The contract is to provide high quality engineering drawing services — record drawings, proposals, drawings for pre-fabrication and for installation — for mechanical (pipes and ducts — sprinklers, heating, cooling, chilled water, drainage, rain water, storage tanks, oil, gas, air, fumes etc), as well as electrical (data, telecoms, cctv, lighting, small power, and containment).

1993-04 Edit: From early 1990, we worked on a wide variety of projects over many years with Sulzer at Clydebank and Edinburgh. Generally acting as a ‘wild card’ doing whatever was required to assist the various project teams in the operation of current projects including client, supplier & workforce liaison, draughting, programming & scheduling, site measurement, etc.

There was a wide variety of projects including: Bob Chessar’s Applied Distribution plc facility in Bellshill; Joe Sheridan’s bases: BUTEC Kyle of Lochalsh, CSST Faslane, RNAD Coulport, and RNAD Crombie; BBC TV Studios in Edinburgh; Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh; and the Leisure Pool in Erskine; Maurice Warwick’s team for St. James’s Shopping centre redevelopment in Edinburgh; Tom Summers’s 10-pin bowling alleys and two major Glasgow projects: the new Legal Services Centre and the new Procurators Fiscal’s office block, and an office development at Waterloo Place, Princes St., Edinburgh working with George Mckay.

During this time the company underwent several re-organisation and restructuring phases, and the company name changed from Sulzer Brothers, through Sulzer Building Services (UK) Ltd, to Sulzer Infra (UK) Ltd.

2006-09 Edit: Sulzer Infra (UK) Ltd stopped trading in Scotland and later withdrew from the UK market in the mid 1990s. The Sulzer Group underwent fairly radical restructuring and re-organisation during this time — the company had such diverse interests as producing surgical hip replacements, knee joint replacements, cryogenics, train engine manufacture, massive water pumps, and more besides.
