This was a Design and Build project undertaken for St Modwen Property to three blocks at The Meads, Shopping Centre estate in Farnborough. The project involved the removal of the existing render and EPS insulation to all three existing blocks.
A replacement EWI compliant render system was installed (with a BBA certificate). The cladding panels were removed to allow for installation of new insulation behind, the existing panels were then subsequently reinstated. The timber decking was removed from all balconies and terraces, and replaced with a compliant aluminium product. Within the building, fire compartmentation was completed to all common areas in two of the blocks.
All of the flats above the retail units and the Travelodge Hotel remained in occupation throughout the construction work. Works to each balcony and terrace had to be carefully coordinated with St Modwen’s Estates Team to keep the residents informed throughout.
