The project comprised building a single storey classroom extension with associated toilets and remodelling works to the existing Primary School. The remodelling and associated work included alterations to an existing plant room to create break out space and cupboard provision, alterations to the existing food servery including asbestos removal, removal of an existing AHU to classroom reception and associated external works and drainage.
Elements included under the Contractors Designed Portion were steelwork connections, concrete structural roof deck, pre-cast beam & block floors and the MEP installations. The robust design was strongly influenced by the need to provide acoustic security due to the close proximity of Heathrow airport and noticeable aircraft noise levels.
The work was undertaken during the school summer term and holiday so daily liaison was required with the school against agreed work plans to minimise disruption to lessons and strict segregation measures were employed to ensure the safeguarding of pupils, staff and visitors. Communication between the school and ourselves was excellent and the project outcome was extremely positive with no incidents, minimal disruption and the delivery of a high quality building providing an invaluable additional reception facility.
