Located in Lennoxtown, Scotland, the High Park Community Sports Complex received funding to tackle the growing demand for modern amenities and energy-efficient infrastructure. HF were brought in to handle the sites electrical and mechanical services, tasked with revamping the facility to meet modern standards.
Brief Project Description: The client required a comprehensive overhaul of the sports complex, focusing on modernising the facilities while enhancing energy efficiency. The key requirements included:
- Upgrading electrical systems to ensure safety and reliability.
- Installation of energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce operational costs.
- Fitting 3x Rolec EV Chargers
- Implementation of air conditioning systems to improve indoor comfort.
- Integration of air source heat pump technology for hot water supply.
- Fitting of new showers, toilets, and other amenities to enhance user experience.
- Installation of new extract ventilation and heat recovery unit.
- Installation of new cold water storage tank and booster set to meet the additional water demand from the expanded facilities.
We upgraded the existing electrical systems to meet current regulations and safety standards and installed new distribution boards, wiring, and accessories to support increased demand on site. We also installed new LED Lighting to offer energy-efficient lighting throughout the complex, including sports arenas, corridors, and outdoor spaces.
Our Mechanical Engineers designed and installed a new air conditioning system to ensure optimal temperature control and ventilation as well as fitting a new air source heat pump to efficiently generate hot water, reducing reliance on traditional heating methods and lowering energy consumption.
We also refurbished the restroom facilities with the installation of new showers, toilets, sinks, and fixtures to enhance user convenience and hygiene standards.
Project Challenges: During the project execution, we successfully dealt with challenges including logistical constraints, coordination with multiple subcontractors also working on site and adherence to strict timelines. However, through effective project management and proactive communication, we successfully navigated these hurdles, ensuring minimal disruptions to the facility’s operations.
All work was completed well within the scheduled deadline and the facility has now successfully opened, benefiting the local community of Lennoxtown.

By modernising Lennoxtown High Park Community Sports Complex, this project has not only met the client’s expectations but also contributed to the sustainable development of the local community infrastructure.
