Emcor Drake & Skull has completed work on the mechanical and electrical services at Xscape – the new indoor ski slope and leisure facility in Milton Keynes.
The £7 million contract with Sir Robert McAlpine includes a 16-screen cinema complex, a shopping mall and a health centre.

The centrepiece is the 165 m long ski slope which is kept at a sub zero temperature by two 376 kW rated chillers. Snow is made by computer controlled snow guns, which can produce a massive 20 tonnes of snow in five hours.

Emcor Drake & Skull also secured the £1.6 million fit out for the complex's health and fitness centre from Gallifords. The contract ran alongside the Xscape project and included both mechanical and electrical services.
