The location of the site is within a residential area and we are utilising a proven format for a communication strategy that engages with residents and key stakeholders so that we do not cause disruption through our temporary intervention into the neighbourhood.
A key factor of the project to date has been our involvement through a formal Early Contractor Involvement stage, were we have added value through build solutions experience on other projects.
The existing school is susceptible to flooding and this replacement has a requirement to set the finished floor level at 900mm above existing floor level. We offered a design solution using precast piles, caps and ring beams to create an entablature platform from which to commence construction. Additionally in order to assist program we offered a wall and floor solution using structural insulated panels which greatly speeds up the construction process and achieves excellent acoustic and air tightness levels.
Both of these examples were undertaken as contractor design element, easing the design pressure on these structural elements and introducing modern methods of construction to our client.
The building is heated by ground source heat pumps, and with “intelligent” controls and lighting, is designed to run efficiently. Sedum roofs restrict rainwater run off and together with sustainable drainage the building presents an enhanced footprint to the existing school.
