The off site drainage was completed this week which meant we could fully open up the main road again in time for the return of the school runs.

Busy week both on and off site. The internals have been making good progress with each property starting to take shape with the completion of 1st fix dry lining the walls are now up giving a better feel for the proportions of each flat.

Once half the units had the internal walls up the 1st fix M&E started. Initially this is the mechanical work, vents for the MVHR units and pipe work for radiators, once half of the units are completed the 2nd half of the M&E team will commence work, the electricians.

Off site the progress has been steady with the drainage connection completed to the existing foul run, the main pipe from this is now being laid back towards site. In order to minimise disruption to the local community we are doing this in two half so we can keep the road open at all times. The plan is to complete it all before the schools start back after their summer holidays, we are in good shape to achieve this, as the first half is complete and the seconded half will be done next week.

With all the offsite drainage ongoing it has been crucial that all the trades onsite have enough materials delivered before the road is closed. The manhole connecting into the existing foul run is now 90% complete and the pipe work from it heading back to site is 50% across the road.

Internals are moving steadily alone this week all the acoustic floors were completed and the first three units 1st fix drylining complete ready for M&E to start on Monday.

The roof was completed this week.

Internals have started with the dry liners working through the units constructing the perimeter boards/internal walls. Once these are completed and sealed the joiner will start next week on the first floor installing the acoustic floors.

On the other side of centenary way the off site drainage began. First all existing service drawings were checked then the area was CAT scanned and marked out. Once we had located all the existing services and installed a temporary traffic light system work began on constructing the manhole furthest away from site. Over the next couple of weeks we will be working back into site.

Both the Roofers and Window fitters made a start on site at the beginning of the week. The roofers completed the felt and baton part of their work by Friday making the building water tight from above.

And all the windows were also installed making the building water tight so regardless of any summer showers at the weekend the internals start next week.
