Fleet Air Arm Museum (Environmental sustainability and environmental resilience of Cobham Hall) - Design & Build PIN

The Fleet Air Arm Museum (FAAM) is part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy and houses the historic Naval aircraft element of the NMRN Collection.

The reserve collection storage building (Cobham Hall) is situated at Yeovilton, Somerset, on a site positioned opposite the main Museum site Cobham Hall was constructed in 1999 and represents a very high quality (at the time) state of the art, climatically controlled museum storage building.

The store is a steel portal frame structure (approx. size 100m X 60m), with block walls with metal sheet cladding.

This project will focus on works to Cobham Hall which will benefit the wider FAAM site.

We have launched this PIN to highlight the provisional scope of these works, to gauge interest from contractors and to further refine the overall specification.

The project will appoint a single prime contractor on a 'Design and Build' contract to work with the NMRN Conservation Team and local FAAM Operation and Facilities Team, to design and install a package of works: a) Provision of a new roof coating across whole roof elevation and end panels of Cobham Hall.

To include Delcote architectural coating system incorporating Seamsil to the edges and lap ends. b) Provision of new rainwater management system (rainwater goods). c) Installation of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels to 30% of Cobham Hall south-west roof elevation (the maximum given roof loading data), with associated battery storage, estimated at 440 panels providing 176kWp d) Installation of additional ground-level PV array to north-west of Cobham Hall, estimated at 200 panels providing 132 kWp e) Installation of energy-efficient light-fittings throughout Cobham Hall.
