Engineering, the engineering and technology support division of the UK's leading property support services group OCS, has been awarded the renewed contract for the care of full HVAC services for Senator House in Queen Victoria Street in the City of London.

Senator House was named in recognition of the ancient roman bath house which lies underneath the prestigious London address.

The high-tech 20,000 m2 building is home to a number of blue chip organisations including international law firm Eversheds and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

The contract places responsibility on OCS Engineering for ensuring its occupiers benefit from the advanced building management technology it utilises.

The on-site OCS team will manage BMS, water services, chiller plant, heating and ventilation, drainage and power factor correction.
