BUILDING FOR EDUCATION PROJECT REPORT


FRAME


The steel frame sat on top of pile caps before the slab was installed – this represented the biggest project challenge for BAM Construct


UTC. “So, we radar-surveyed the whole site. That showed some anomalies and we probed down 15 metres for the piles, but we didn’t find anything.” At the very start, new access and egress were installed as well as attenuation tanks under a road, which were essential on a site that offers minimal storage.


While the finished scheme will offer 83 parking spaces for the UTC and Trafalgar School, there is no parking for operatives and all materials suppliers have had to work as part of a Just in Time system. The building is based on a steel frame, which was manufactured and installed by Norwich-based specialist H Young starting in November. That frame sat on top of the pile caps before the concrete slab was installed – this provided the biggest obstacle to surmount for Crookes’ team. “That was the biggest challenge as you have to thread the slabs through the frame,” explains Mr Crookes. “It’s like going through the eye of a needle.


“The disproportionate collapsed works was tying the slabs together. Part of that is forming the slab edge and then we had to form the secondary frame system.” After the main frame was complete, a

secondary frame system (SFS) comprised of a light gauge steel frame was added to the exterior of the steel frame with a liner sheet then attached.

added. The first of the distinctive turquoise panels began going up in late January. External light is provided through poly- ester powder coated aluminium metal windows and a curtain walling system. “You think of windows as a functional thing to let light in and curtain walling does the same,” says Andy Newman, BAM Construct’s design manager on the job. “It becomes something else when you incorpo- rate the logo and also creates a strong connection to the road as you can see people working inside.”


On the front of the building between the curtain walling that allows passers-by to see students at work will be a six-metre high and five-metre wide logo, which spans two floors and gives clear identification to the UTC.


On top of the building, Stride Treglown have specified two roof systems, both supplied (and guaranteed) by Bauder. A hot melt system features concrete plinths with asphalt and ballast, while a standing seam
