Oliver Hodgman

Project:
Client: Khazna
Main Contractor: ALEMCO/ALEC
Package Lead: Fire Protection £15m, Fuel Oil System £10m

Oliver is currently engaged on a Tier lll DC 200MW project, which represents the fastest-moving and most technically
challenging projects of his career to date. The pre-construction stage will be completed in Dec 25. His role involves overseeing
the Fire Protection and Fuel Oil system design through to completion, working closely with MEP consultants RED and
SUDLOWS, as well as subcontractors NAFFCO and Crest.
The Fire Protection scope covers the installation of Pre-Action and Clean Agent Systems, both engineered to safeguard
sensitive and mission-critical data centre areas.

The Fuel Oil System scope covers the full design and coordination of fuel storage tanks, transfer and return piping, filtration
units, and automated control systems to ensure safe and reliable fuel delivery to the generator sets. A key challenge lies in
the interface between the fuel oil network and the diesel generator systems—where both mechanical and control interlocks
must operate as one integrated system. This requires detailed coordination across mechanical, electrical, and control
disciplines to achieve seamless functionality & safety compliance in line with consultant and project standards.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:
• Manage CDP specialists at RIBA 4c, adhere to package philosophy/spec/schedule & VEs - Lab Gases, DX & VRF
systems, RA/Trade Waste System.
• Created Scope of works for the above & Fire Protection
• Review RIBA 5 Service Layout & details in line with stage 4 Design/Spec (Lab Gases, DX & VRF system, RA/Trade
Waste System)
• Procurement of equipment in line with specification on

Main Contractor: Costain
Package Lead: Process gas £2m, Public health £1m, Dry riser £200k
Scope of works: Oliver acted as a Mechanical Engineer for NGB. This project was a new warhead assembly facility. Olivers
role was to oversee works from inception through till completion more specifically focusing on packages such as process gas
systems. The 4b design was complex & involved finalising the proposals, seismic calcs and cost information to move it to
stage 5 design.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:
• Olivers role was to understand the scope of works and design information & take packages from inception through
to project handover.
• Packages managed included the process gas systems, plumbing, drainage, dry riser.
• Utilise 3D modelling to develop methods, clarify issues and resolve method related problems
• The packages are then planned from start to finish and added into the MCS (master construction schedule).
• Oversee the design of pipework/materials and installation drawings using CAD.
• Manage fabrication of these packages and have a sound understanding of the welding, NDT testing & QC1/3
documentation process for nuclear grade systems.
