Schools - Tanking Works

Lot 1 - Gilmour Infants School - Plant Room Tanking and Drainage

Work is required to tank the plant room at Gilmour Infants School to prevent water ingress and undertake some drainage repairs externally.

The school are experiencing ongoing degradation of the encapsulation painting in the plant room (required for remnants of asbestos containing material debris on the plant room walls) requiring regular maintenance. This is due to ongoing damp and water ingress so the tanking of the plant room will alleviate this issue. There is also an area externally that is pooling water due to damaged drainage that will be remedied at the same time.

Lot 2 - Hunts Cross Primary School - Plant Room Tanking

The school are experiencing corrosion of a steel column in the plant room which is currently subject to safety propping and remedial works are planned. However, the high water table in the area and ongoing water ingress in the plant room is the cause of the corrosion and unless tackled will continue to create issues. Furthermore, the remedial works cannot be undertaken until the water ingress issue is resolved as it involves welding which can't be undertaken in standing water.
