Groundbreaking: Gayhurst School

Perfectly put by our #HemelHempstead Regional Director Mark Doyle: “Groundbreaking is one of those beautiful traditions in a construction process, where a client, in this case the leadership at Gayhurst School, realise that their ambition is suddenly becoming reality.” The Neilcott team will be delivering a new sports hall, auditorium and staffing facility, skillfully designed by Morse Webb Architects.

Edward Bryant Primary School

EDWARD BRYANT PRIMARY SCHOOL New build ‘Specialist Support Centre’ SEN extension SEN office, sensory room & quiet room Info box: Client: West Sussex County Council Architect: Atkins Value: £129k Construction of a new single storey extension to provide a Specialist Support Centre for pupils comprising classrooms, office, sensory room, hygiene room and WC, and construction of an extension to provide new library accommodation along with associated refurbishment works within the existing school and external works. The SEN extension will be a single storey flat roofed two classroom extension with two classrooms, and toilets. An existing year 2 classroom will be adapted to provide a hygiene room, SEN office, sensory room and quiet room. The form and the materials of the extension take their ques from the 2013 expansion project, which in turn is respectful of the flat roofed system build original building. The old and new extensions will ‘bookend’ the new building. The new extension will have a low parapet with roof mounted air source heat pumps to provide low carbon heating. The air source heat pumps will be mounted away from the edge of the roof to mitigate their visual appearance. Two small flat roofed extensions will be added to an existing building for the Library provision. They will have MVHR to ensure good internal air quality and will be heated by extending the existing wet radiator circuit.

SK Rivington Enterprise

SK RIVINGTON ENTERPRISE Occupied Site Steel Frame SIPS Complex Logistics Phasing Info box:Client: Royal Grammar SchoolArchitect: IID Architects   Quantity Surveyor: Ainsley’sValue: £5m Neilcott was appointed to undertake phase-3 of the nine-phase Royal Grammar School (RGS) masterplan. The new facilities in the heart of the listed school were co-ordinated around a live school environment and include conversion of old design & technology labs into state-of-the-art chemistry labs, followed by construction of a 725m2 fourth-floor extension over the existing three-storey ‘spine’ block between two central courtyards. Neilcott undertook the third (most recent) phase of development, including: a 725m2 spine extension to the main building at height; relocation of construction-affected teaching accommodation; infill of existing courtyard spaces; and relocation of the library into the “heart” of the school; for completion prior to the new academic year A key element of the project was the planned, phased decant and recant of working areas, swiftly completing moves as refurbishment works progressed through different areas. During construction of the spine to accommodate the piling works, temporary designated access routes were formed to both courtyards through the existing school building at ground floor level to facilitate the specialist piling rig required to reach the designed depths. These routes also facilitated access for site personnel, excavated materials off site and concrete for the foundations to minimise interface with the live school. We installed the structural steel roof structure and supporting columns, whilst leaving the pitched roof structure over the spine in-situ, until the it could be safely demolished in a weathertight environment. We managed phasing and programming of works, ceasing all construction during the 2-week public exam period, ensuring no disruption or distraction to pupils, additionally scheduling works (including steel frame/composite floor works) from 4pm-8pm on many evenings to maintain school operations without disruption. During pre-construction period we identified interface issues e.g. service routing and new to old connections and coordinated effective value engineering work to ensure effective cost control and maintain viability for this complex project.

Prime House

PRIME HOUSE Occupied Site Steel Frame Network Rail BAPA Info box:Client: Tindall OverseasArchitect: Jestico & Whiles              Quantity Surveyor: LG PartnershipValue: £3.6m Neilcott was responsible for the construction of a new two storey office block built over a Network Rail tunnel, located less than 1500mm below ground level. Strict methods of working set out in a BAPA were imposed by Network Rail which dictated that no load could be imposed upon the tunnel lid during construction. The existing buildings consisted of a largely five-storey building fronting Finchley Road (The Front Building) and a largely one storey extension (The Rear Building) behind which was the location for the two storey office extension. The Front Building comprises ground and first floors in use commercial by Alied Irish Bank together with access to residential use over at second to fourth floor levels. This residential element remained occupied during the Works and due allowance for the continuing proper, safe, secure access and occupation of this residential element was made throughout the course of the works including maintaining all services including all air conditioning, ventilation and cooling systems and maintaining liaison with the residents throughout. Foundations comprised piles installed alongside the tunnel with capping beam. Insitu concrete ground beam spanning 20m between capping beam were constructed using falsework suspended from pairs of pre-cambered steel sections, prior to post tensioning in the final position. Infill between the beams was formed using an omnia permanent formwork system. The structure for the extension was supported upon specialist bearings inserted between the piled substructure and the superstructure in order to eliminate transfer of noise and vibration from the rail tunnel to the completed building. With no possibility of intermediate support across the 20m span the first floor structure was suspended from steel trusses at roof level. A glazed atrium area joined the new building to the existing development.
