Pathfoot Building Switchgear Replacement
iPME was appointed to design and manage the full replacement of outdated electrical switchgear in the B Corridor Electrical Switchroom of the University of Stirling’s historic Grade A-listed Pathfoot Building. The existing switchgear had reached the end of its operational life, and the upgrade was essential to ensure ongoing safety, reliability, and compliance with current electrical standards.
The project required meticulous planning to minimise disruption to the university’s academic activities. iPME oversaw all stages, from detailed design and engineering through to on-site installation, enforcing strict safety protocols during the handling of low-voltage components. The customised switchgear integrated seamlessly with the existing infrastructure, delivering a future-proof, energy-efficient solution while significantly improving operational reliability.
Through careful project management, technical expertise, and close coordination with stakeholders, iPME successfully delivered the project on time, within budget, and without impacting teaching or research activities, demonstrating our ability to upgrade critical electrical systems in operational, historic buildings.
What our clients say
We’ve been working closely with iPME on a number of projects and the level of service that we receive is second to none. Not only do they go above and beyond for us, we feel that we’re in safe hands at all times.
Working with David and iPME on the Dewars Fitness Development project has been an exceptional experience. Their expertise and professionalism in managing the project were truly commendable.
