PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

The new medical training facility was created on the ground floor of the Earl Mountbatten Building within the Heriot Watt University campus at Riccarton, Edinburgh.<\/p>

After initial strip-out and minor downtakings, the project works comprised cutting open the existing concrete floor to install new floor power\/data boxes, installation of new M&E services (lighting, small -power, plumbing and heating) decoration to ceilings and floor, soft floor finishing and acoustic wall and ceiling features. \u00a0<\/p>

Mock medical services (gas and nurse call points) were all installed to replicate a hospital facility.<\/p>

Key Challenges<\/b><\/p>

All works were carried out within a live University building during term time with normal daily business activity of students and academic staff ongoing throughout the duration of the works.<\/p>

The continuity of live services to all other areas of the building and the non-disruption to normal teaching and academic activity were essential at all times.<\/p>

Deliveries were carefully worked around the students arriving and break times within the academic day.<\/p>

With careful planning and co-ordination with the building users, all noisy works were carried out during times when no seminars or lectures were taking place in the adjacent lecture room.<\/p>

Added Value <\/b><\/p>

Alternative, equivalent floor coverings were offered which presented a significant saving to the client.<\/p>

The project was handed over on programme to the full satisfaction of the client, creating an essential new teaching and training facility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
