This project included full demolition, enabling, structural steel and timber works. This also included stabilisation to retain the external building envelop using scaffolding and propping systems during the removal of burnt timbers and removal of crinkle deck floor slabs to 1st & 2nd floor.
Although a large portion of the building was not live during the works, there was still areas that were live where we needed to ensure that there was safe and secure segregation between the staff / children and the activities on site that sometimes-included crane lifting.
Monthly meetings were conducted with all stakeholders as well as daily/weekly briefings with the school to advise of the current activities being conducted on site.
