Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has been contracted to provide specialist electrical services at the Lakes Estate in Milton Keynes.
The Lakes Estate is located at the southernmost end of Milton Keynes, on the outskirts of Bletchley. It was planned according to the functionalist Radburn system as a ‘Town for the Motor Age’ and completed in 1975. Less than fifty years after completion the Lakes Estate ranked in the top 10 most deprived areas in England for crime, income and health deprivation according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD 2015).
In 2017, a multi-disciplinary team was appointed to develop a landscape-led regeneration strategy for the Lakes Estate. After extensive consultation with residents and various stakeholders the brief was defined to include complete regeneration of the local centre (Serpentine Court), re-design of the existing Warren Park as a new neighbourhood park, four new development sites for re-settlement, and wider improvements to the existing streets, courts and green spaces.
PTSG was contracted to deliver a new lightning protection system at the estate, protecting its many structures and residents in the event of an electrical storm.
PTSG is the UK’s leading provider of lightning and surge protection systems. Its engineers design, install and commission new systems for clients in all sectors. They also carry out mandatory testing and inspection of systems, which is required by law at least every year to ensure they remain safe and fully operational. PTSG’s engineers are highly experienced and qualified to conduct any maintenance work that may be required.
