Key Challenges
A number key challengers were encountered on the project including working in buildings where heritage fabric was to maintained in all cases, noise and dust contained as the buildings were operational during the works
Staging and programming of the works were extremely important as the buildings were operational during the works and close liaison with the Building Manager was required throughout the works.
