๐๏ธ Project Update | South Essex College
Things are progressing well on site at South Essex College, where we are replacing the Air Handling Units serving the entire building.
Last week marked an important milestone for the project, with the first crane lift getting underway to support the removal of the existing AHUs and the delivery of new plant equipment to the roof. ๐๏ธ๐ง
Ahead of the lift, our traffic management team carefully established the lifting zone to ensure students, staff, pedestrians and vehicles could continue to move safely around the live college environment.
The works began with the removal of steelwork to enable the first phase of dismantling the existing AHU, followed by clearing waste from the roof and lifting the new plant into position ready for installation.
With the new equipment now on the roof, the team is progressing with alterations to the gantry steelwork and beginning installation of the new plant, with further crane lifts planned as we move into the next stage of the programme.
Great progress from everyone involved! ๐
