Northern Ireland-based contractor and construction engineering company Kane has been awarded a contract to deliver mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installation works for Great Wolf Lodge Resorts at Chesterton, Oxford, UK.

Awarded by John Sisk & Sons, the estimated worth of this design and build contract is estimated at £30m, with the resort said to be the first European venture of the company, which is situated on a 46-acre site, reported the Irish News.

Great Wolf Lodge Resorts' first UK park will feature a 504-bedroom hotel, as well as a family entertainment complex on the ground floor with a bowling alley, restaurants, and arcades that all link to a water park.

Kane's in-house team will design and install service corridor modules and an off-site prefabricated energy centre for this project.

Kane managing director Cathal McMullan was quoted by the publication as saying: “We are delighted to have secured this MEP contract on behalf of our valued client John Sisk & Sons.

“In line with our growth strategy, we are delighted to secure this project, which aligns with our ambition to deliver MEP solutions for our clients right across the UK and Ireland.”

Great Wolf Resorts owns and operates 19 family resorts under the Great Wolf Lodge brand.
