CCG Group has announced the successful completion of a major fire door replacement scheme in South Lanarkshire, suppling and installing over 2253 FD60 flat entrance and common door sets in 10 high-rise residential flatted blocks, across East Kilbride and Cambuslang in just 18 months.

Working on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council, CCG has now begun a second, multi-phased programme with over 1700 door sets supporting a further 1000 residences in East Kilbride, Cambuslang, Hamilton and Rutherglen as part of a 12-month, £5.4m workstream.

FD60 doors are designed to mitigate the spread of fire, gases and smoke in a building for 60 minutes with the purpose of protecting lives and the remainder of the building or other buildings around it.

CCG’s doors are fabricated using engineered timber, which is naturally fire-resistant, from their bespoke manufacturing premises in Cambuslang. They are then installed by their in-house planned maintenance division, Asset Management.

CCG Asset Management Manager, Jim Cunningham, said: "CCG first launched as a small heating and plumbing contractor in 1974. These are services that Asset Management (AM) is still responsible for to this day, including fire door replacements, so the completion of this multi-phase programme carries a lot of significance as it truly highlights how our division and wider business have grown and evolved fifty years on.

"I give thanks to South Lanarkshire Council for their support over the last 18 months as well as their commitment to CCG with the award of a second, multi-phase programme.

"I also give thanks to our staff; from CCG Manufacturing and their team working on the factory floor to our AM installation squads and Tenant Liaison Officers, each and every person was instrumental in executing quality workmanship and first-class customer service.

"We look forward to working with Council and tenants from across the region again over the next 12 months."

The fire door replacement planned maintenance workstream was procured via the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) C8 Framework.
