The project involved upgrading a steel frame building to create a modern and welcoming environment suitable for training and operational activities. A full asbestos survey was completed and communicated to all relevant parties before work commenced, ensuring regulatory compliance and safety.
Key works included the refurbishment of washrooms and a dedicated shower room, installation of new fixtures and amenities, and upgrades to emergency lighting and fire safety detection systems. External improvements encompassed new road markings, lighting, and a key safe for enhanced security and operational efficiency.

The primary challenge involved delivering heavy structural alterations within a confined, live environment. We adopted a phased approach to slab removal, using scaffold decks to safely support sections during cutting and extraction. Mechanical demolition of concrete walls, staircases, and the basement floor allowed safe clearance for the new structure.
To manage limited space, we established a secure compound for materials and waste, supported by off-site storage to reduce congestion. Temporary lighting addressed low natural light levels during winter works. We maintained strict health and safety controls, with daily coordination and clear site management procedures to ensure steady progress and minimal disruption.
