Arc-Tech Appointed To Service Govan Travelodge

Arc-Tech (Scotland) has been appointed as the Mechanical and Electrical Services provider for a new Travelodge in Govan earlier this year where a full service installation has been undertaken alongside the Main Contractor, CBC.

Located on Linthouse Road, the Travelodge Govan hotel is now taking shape with the 60-room, three storey building set to be completed in early-2019.

Guests will benefit from an on-site restaurant called the Bar Café incorporated on the ground floor, as well as excellent transport links to Glasgow city centre.

Arc-Tech is one of Scotland's leading M&E providers with the company having delivered several major contracts in recent months within the commercial, healthcare and residential sectors.

The Glasgow-based firm will be responsible for installing the building's Air-Conditioning, Ventilation, and Water Services as well as the Electrical installation, inclusive of Power, Lighting, Telecommunication, Fire and Safety Systems.

John Gallacher, Arc-Tech managing director, said: "CBC is a well-known and very reputable contractor so we were delighted to be appointed to the new Travelodge Govan hotel. Our plan is to deliver exceptional quality coupled with an excellent service for any project that we work on and we hope our positive work on this contract will allow us to partner with CBC on future projects.

"We officially commenced the works on site in July and look forward to our completion in 2019. Our dedicated team have experienced previous Travelodge hotels which has assisted us greatly and as we have opted to prefabricate various elements of the project, our team have adhered to the quality standards expected as well as working to a strict working schedule.

"Arc-Tech strives to create a revolution in the Building Services industry and we will continue this ethos with CBC and Travelodge Hotels Ltd."
