G3 Systems celebrates 25th anniversary

This April, G3 Systems reached a significant milestone with its 25th Anniversary, marking a quarter of a century of delivering operationally proven deployable and fixed infrastructure solutions to austere overseas environments.

This achievement, combined with just completing four years of diverse infrastructure support to the South Atlantic Permanent Joint Operating Bases (PJOBs) adds yet another chapter to the G3 Systems’ story.

G3 Systems has a long and distinguished history of providing excellent infrastructure support, project management and facilities management to UK & NATO forces and government departments, deployed in austere and high-risk operations around the world. From providing the fire-fighting services for all the international airfields of Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif and Kandahar), to constructing and operating complex technical facilities and infrastructure globally. 

This includes hospitals, power generation and distribution, Command and Control facilities and workshops, along with a full range of deployable infrastructure capabilities. G3 Systems has a mission-focused attitude which mirrors that of the deployed forces they support, delivering high-quality outcomes on time and to budget.

For the last three years, G3 Systems has been deployed in the South Atlantic as a sub-contractor to the Permanent Joint Operating Base (PJOB) prime to enhance the Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (RFFS) on Ascension Island and for the last four years, led on a significant schedule of diverse infrastructure upgrade work at Mount Pleasant Complex (MPC) in the Falkland Islands. 

These projects were vital to ensure that technical and non-technical infrastructure and facilities are fully compliant with modern legislation, safe and upgraded to be fit for purpose without impacting operations. Over this period, G3 Systems has completed over 230 projects at MPC and consistently provided high-quality RFFS services on a 24/7 365 basis to help protect Ascension Island, a key UK strategic asset.

Nick Rose, Managing Director of G3 Systems said: “As we reflect on over 25 years of G3 Systems history and direct support to the British military deployed overseas on operations, from Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000’s, through to today in the South Atlantic, I am immensely proud of what the teams have achieved in the most remote and often demanding of conditions.   

"We currently have complex infrastructure projects and facility support contracts running all over the world in support of the FCDO and British military. With the backing of our parent company Intrepid, who are also experts in supporting facilities and providing professional services for the US military, we have the scale and reach to reinforce globally as needed and therefore G3 Systems is fully prepared to take on a more strategic role in supporting overseas operating bases, in the future.”
