he £150m HLR Schools project involves the demolition and new build of seven secondary schools in


the South East of England. Developed under a challenging time frame,


a uniformed and standardised approach across all seven sites was critical. Marco’s Elite uPVC trunking formed part of the specification applied across all projects in line with the wider approach. Enabling work began in March 2015.


Developed in phases concurrently, the new builds were constructed on existing playing


fields and car parks. Upon completion the old buildings have been demolished and the sites made good for recreational use. Stuart Langridge (Associate Director) for

The Education Funding Agency approved use of the Elite 3 products during the design and planning phase, this was pre-agreed far in advance of installation work. “In terms of volume, we have ordered vast quantities of Elite trunking across all seven sites. Our team were impressed with ease of installation and the modern bright white and curved aesthetics of Elite (with grey plates for DDA compliance), which sit really well within this type of environment.”
