RFT - Main Building Contractor for Block F - Refurbish Facade and Replace Stair at Wellington High School

The work includes the repair of spalling to the concrete walls of Block F (hall) especially about window openings and the replacement of exterior egress stairs. Over many years water has got into the concrete walls and corroded the reinforcing blowing the concrete. The concrete is to be repaired and the entire façade painted.

Steel windows cast into openings have created similar issues and are to be removed and replaced with new double glazed aluminium units.

The existing external egress stairs are non compliant in respect of pitch, are in poor condition and one of them has been assessed by an engineer as being dangerously degraded. Three stairs are to be replaced/refurbished.

The new building works will be designed and constructed in line with MoE guidelines and will also be peer reviewed around its weather tightness performance.

As a consequence of these works a number of mechanical services plan has to be removed and reinstated back.
