Scope of works
The Curley Group were successfully appointed to carry out the Masonry Package at Rhyddings School. The masonry works encompassed a diverse range of construction techniques and the use of various types of materials such as:
- Setting out
- Supply and install brickwork and blockwork to architects’ details
- Employ appropriate tools to cut and shape bricks as required by the design, ensuring precise fits around openings, corners, and other architectural features
- Forming cavities
- Installing cavity trays where required
- Install ancon ties and masonry support
- Forming of structural columns in brickwork
- Installation of fire barriers
- Incorporate expansion joints as specified in the design
We worked closely and diligently with the client to ensure that the highest standards of quality were achieved on this project. We bought into their quality assurance software and conducted frequent inspections during the installation process to verify compliance with design and quality standards. We acted to address any deviations promptly and sought approval for any necessary modifications.
The Sports Hall
Whilst on site completing the contracted works to the Science Block and Art Studio, The Curley Group were approached by the client for assistance. The Sports Hall was to be re-clad with aluminium panels; however, this had been rejected by the local authority planning department. Plans were re-submitted to rejuvenate the Sports Hall in traditional brickwork and The Curley Group were chosen to complete this project. It was fundamental to the school that the sports hall was completed in a 7 week period prior to the summer break ending and children returning to school.
Masonry works represent a timeless and enduring construction method that continues to be the valued backbone of The Curley Group. We worked tirelessly around the clock, including weekends and night shifts, to deliver the project back to Carefoot PLC on time and under budget.
The scope of works to complete the sports hall included:
- Careful removal of all external facing brickwork
- Cleaning and removal of obstructions from substrate
- Supply and install facing brickwork to architects’ details
- Ensure precise fits around openings, corners, and other architectural features
- Forming of cavities and installing cavity trays where required
- Install ancon ties and masonry support
- Installation of fire barriers
- Incorporate expansion joints as specified in the design
- Protection to existing windows and doors
