G&H Fabrication makes fast progress at Sheffield school
Specialist off-site fabrication for the new £14 million Don Valley ‘all-through to 16 academy’ school in Sheffield halved the time taken to carry out elements of the M&E work. G&H Fabrication took just three weeks to build, test, deliver and install most of the main plant room, instead of six weeks if all the work was carried out on site.
The main pipework headers and pump sets, which were mounted on a skid, were made in the purpose-built welding facilities at G&H Group’s new headquarters in Yorkshire. The contract with BAM Construction is part of the development that will offer 1200 places for children on the site of the former Don Valley athletics stadium.
Wheels on the skid enabled it to be wheeled into position through the building, after which the builder closed up the external wall that had been left for G&H’s installation team.
