The project challenge
Deterioration affected a timber support beside the historic school building. The response addressed the immediate support condition while planning around the established building fabric and occupied education environment.
SCE inspected and documented the affected area, prepared the quotation and coordinated temporary support with the required structural guidance.
Scope of make-safe work
- Site inspection and documentation of the affected support.
- Quotation prepared for the assessed make-safe works.
- Coordination around structural guidance for the temporary works.
- Temporary support installed to manage the identified condition.
- Work planned around the existing heritage fabric and school environment.
Temporary structural support in a school environment
The project demonstrates SCE’s coordination of building assessment, temporary structural support and site controls within an established school, with work planned around the existing fabric and school activities.
School-site coordination: SCE coordinated the make-safe response around structural guidance, temporary support requirements and site access.
