Case Studies

Industrial

Daedalus is a large, former Naval airfield and training base located on the Gosport Peninsula to the North West of Lee-on-the-Solent and is the location for one of the largest development schemes in the South of England. The potential of the site and the unique opportunity presented by the operational airfield and slipway access was reflected in the award of Enterprise Zone status in 2011. Planning consent for a mixed use scheme delivering over a million sq ft of new and refurbished commercial floorspace and 200 new homes was awarded in March 2012. The scheme will capitalise on the site’s status as the Solent Enterprise Zone and offers the potential to accommodate up to 3,700 jobs with a particular focus on high value Marine and Aviation Sectors. 

In 2013 Intrinsic Risk Management submitted as part of a combined  tender bid with Campbell Reith as lead for Master Planning and Project Management. Campbell Reith are known for their involvement with numerous large scale projects with complicated master-planning, planning and technical requirements. The combined team included a wide range of consultants all of whom have previously worked on Daedalus Airfield either for HCA or SEEDA. The team includes Carter Jonas, GVA, LDA, MVA, Intrinsic Risk Management, Regional and City Airport Management and Harland Masters QS. All of whom are well respected in their fields.

Campbell Reith will lead the project but will draw on Gerard Wackrow of Intrinsic to provide expertise in, Project Management, Procurement, Health & Safety. This project will also require expertise in Estate Management and Cost Management, which will be led by GVA and Harland Masters respectively. With Carter Jonas completing and advising  planning, LDA Design was commissioned to prepare a masterplan for a new urban village to be built on part of the former RAF Burtonwood Airfield in Warrington. This work was carried out on behalf of the Defence Estates following the defence review and the masterplan looked to deliver a balanced and phased development for over 2500 homes and mixed use development while operational uses where gradually withdrawn and relocated elsewhere.

Residential


Finders Keepers are Oxford's premier property letting and managing agents with a substantial portfolio of properties managed from eight regional offices. Their portfolio includes student HMOs, residential blocks and single houses in this busy university town. Since 2106 Intrinsic Risk Management have provided Finders Keepers with fire and health and safety assessments, along with general safety advice.
In addition to the usual HMO licencing, Oxford City Council operate the more rigorous system of additional licencing. This can make negotiating through the various fire safety requirements in the provision of, especially, student shared housing especially onerous.
With Intrinsic Risk Management at the end of the phone, Finders Keepers have the confidence that all of their properties comply with the appropriate legislation. We ensure they meet their duty of care from the design stage of new residential properties to regular risk assessments of their existing properties.

Hospitality

Arkells Brewery are the oldest company in Swindon and one of the oldest breweries in England still owned and managed by the same family. As well as brewing exceptional beers, Arkells own 92 public houses, both directly managed and tenanted. In 2018, Intrinsic Risk Management took over all aspects of the fire safety management of their pubs.
As well as carrying out fire risk assessments, we liaise with Dorset and Wilts Fire and Rescue Service helping to manage the relationship between the service and the brewery. The outcome has been that all Arkells pubs are now compliant with legislation and their tenants no longer face unannounced visits from enforcing officers. This has been a classic 'win-win' situation: Arkells management are confident that their pubs are 'safe' in terms of fire safety and D&WF&RS know that suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments are in place and that the pubs are being actively managed.

Events

In 2019, the UK Dawoodi Bohras Islamic community were looking to host Ashara Mubaraka Araz 1441H centred around their Masjid in Northolt, West London. They reached out to Intrinsic Risk Management to manage the fire safety arrangements for the event.
The first issue was to increase the safe occupation of the Masjid to 6000 people with an additional 4000 accommodated in tented structures in the car park. This involved temporary mezzanines being built within the building and the provision of additional fire exit routes via external staircases to be created through several of the building's windows to supplement the existing internal stairways within the building.
There was also a ten acre site, the former golf driving range, on which tented structures were to be built providing catering facilities and welfare facilities for all 10,000 festival attendees.
The task involved capacity calculations, fire evacuation strategies and plans, and fire management plans for both sites.
Following negotiation with the local council, London Fire Brigade and with the assistance of neighbouring businesses, the target figure of 10,000 safely accommodated visitors was achieved. Sadly, the Ashara was awarded to Colombo but hopefully will come to London in the future, now we know it is feasible.
