Challenge 1
Winton Academy was a logistically tight and challenging site. This was due to the fact that construction was surrounded on all four sides by live class blocks and with a farm within close proximity.
Challenge 2
There was great emphasis placed on the quality of the new facility; however due to the lack of space on site, the team were unable to accommodate a ‘benchmark’ room.
Solution 1
To manage the logistically challenging site, a thorough and robust plan of action for safety on the project was required, including the following:
Frequent and regular communication with the school, client and all stakeholders involved
‘Just in Time’ deliveries were opted where possible, due to minimal storage space on-site
The project team segregated the site with hoarding
‘Movement times’ required on the project meant if there were any deliveries, the team could only move materials during certain periods of the day
Further barriers such as Heras fencing were installed to segregate the team from the school and the farm
Solution 2
The team had samples for a number of materials that would be used throughout the project, including:
CLT – Brickwork – Mortar – Flooring
Along with the material samples, the team undertook daily inspections which were recorded on the Site Information Management System. Additionally, weekly quality inspections were undertaken by the client and third-party inspections were undertaken of the flat roof installation, with a written report provided. Lastly, 360o photographic evidence via Oculo was used on the project to ensure Quality Assurance.
The team successfully mitigated the impact of the site works to both the school and local community, as demonstrated in the Considerate Constructors Site Report which achieved 15/15 for ‘Respect the Community’ and Customer Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) which scored 10/10 for safety.
