Update of 10 February 2023
Work carried out this week was:-
On the 4th and 5th floors, the drylining, including sound insulation and the resilient bars have continued to be fitted.
M&E to the new apartments continuing. Bathrooms now with most first fix plumbing. Electrical first fix wiring and AV wiring being run.
Flat roof areas continued having the first layer of waterproofing fitted. Second layer fitted in most places.
The stone fitting to the front continued with the brackets and metal framing to support the stone being fitted.
Windows the the new 4th floor being fitted and glass now fitted.
The Knight Frank rear extension had the roof structure fitted.
Air conditioning started to be fitted with the cassettes fitted above the ceilings in places.
Plastered more of the walls and ceilings in the new Flats.
Applied some of the exterior STO insulation to the rear walls. This is a non-flammable ‘Rockwool’ type material.
Stainless steel roof continuing.
Work to be carried out next week;
The stone to the front elevation will start to be fitted to the framing this coming week. The stone is fixed on metal rails which are bolted to the concrete panels. Noise will continue but it is more ‘drilling’ type noise and not hammering with heavy machines type noise. This work is crucial to getting the scaffold down.
Insulation to the rear walls will continue to be fitted.
Internal work within the new Flats will increase and to include further plastering and fitting of bathrooms. Walls will be closed and plumbing and electrics will advance.
Flat roof finishes to continue.
Windows the the new 4th floor will continue to be fitted and the glass fitted.
Air conditioning and ventilation works will continue in the new Flats.
Stainless steel roof to the main building will continue.
Mayer are looking at the programme again. The stone fitting to the front is driving the programme to a great extent because until that is completed the scaffold cannot come down. There is work to do once the scaffold comes down but having the scaffold down will be a big relief to all involved. Stone is starting to be fitted to the walls next Monday so the fitters will know very quickly whether there are likely to be delays. Currently, the start date for scaffold coming down is still around the end of March.
