January 2015: Progression on Warwick University Extension

Jan 28, 2015

Works are well underway for the new extension to the Engineering Block for The University of Warwick, UK.

Over the past few months Manley Construction have been finalising the designs of a new extension containing offices for the School of Engineering in Warwick University, this week saw great progession onsite with the commencement of the steel erection onsite.

The Multi-Million Design & Build contract involves opening the existing roof and extending the original steel structure up to form a new floor of offices above the roof level of the original structure. The new structure will be built from the new floor plate using structural steel columns and beams cladded with Rodeca light weight sheeting. Internally the walls and floor structure will be constructed of light weight metal studding sheeted with Gypsum plaster board, and fitted out with floor, wall and ceiling finishes, M&E installation and Joinery ready for University use on handover.

All works are being carried out within a live third level campus were stringent procedures are in place to ensure the utmost safety during the construction programme!
