Loxford Through School

Spring Update

Despite the poor weather in December and January, the new Primary school building is moving forward. The first two floors of the concrete frame have now been cast the third and final floor is about to be constructed.

Bricklayers and construction workers are ready to start filling in the frame work looking to make the building watertight as soon as possible.

External ductings for services are in place and awaiting connection.

Planning permission for the relocation of the old electrical sub station is well in hand and work should be starting soon on relocating to the schools Loxford lane boundary.

Watching the crane swing lazily around the site with anything up to five tonnes on the end of the hook you have to marvel at the skill of the operator forty feet up placing loads inch perfect on the building.

Second fix gangs are ready to move into the ground floor to establish locations of internal walls and doors ready for mock ups of class rooms and room layouts.

The building is still on program and is expected to be completed late December 2012.

Farrans (Construction) Limited

Following on from our letter dated 9th March 2012, we would like to update you on our construction progress.

We continue to make good progress, we have in the last few days completed the first concrete pour to the roof slab. Work to the external brickwork facade and associated internal brickwork are progressing well. Work has begun on the ground floor slab area involving our mechanical and electrical contractor, included in this are works relating to fire sprinkler system and mechanical ductwork. Within the next week we anticipate work beginning on the internal wall partitions. We are now able to look forward to semi weather proofing the building which is always a positive step from our perspective.

Yet again we are being blessed with favourable weather conditions, which is helping us considerably.

Farrans would once again like to thank Loxford School of Science & Technology for allowing us to use its IT system to communicate this information to you.

We hope you find this informative and feedback from you would be appreciated.
