Trinity Road School, Chelmsford, Essex

Client: Morgan Sindall Group
Contract Value: Circa £400k
Duration: 20 weeks

Project Description

Secured through competitive tender, this comprehensive groundworks package involved the construction of a new school building within a busy, live educational environment

To address gas protection requirements, we removed made ground across the oversite areas, preparing the footprint for the installation of traditional strip foundations and a suspended block and beam floor system

The scope included the installation of a new surface water attenuation tank and associated drainage, carefully positioned beneath an existing playground and integrated into the wider site network. We also managed the complex off-site foul water sewer connection, coordinating directly with the local authority to secure the relevant Section 50 and Section 106 licenses.

More about the scheme

• The works were confined to an existing playground area of a live primary school, during term time. Careful consideration was given to safe segregation of the works and to minimise noise and disruption to students.
• In order to meet client environmental considerations, no diesel was utilised in the work and EJT utilised HVO Green D+ alternative fuel for all construction plant.
• EJ Taylor were awarded ‘Perfect Delivery’ by the main contractor Morgan Sindall, for our performance on this project.
