ICOSS recladding, University of Sheffield

Construction works involved the removal of existing cladding panels and their replacement with new, non-combustible anodized aluminium cladding panels. Window replacement was also undertaken where required as part of this project. Unforeseen fire compartmentation issues were addressed promptly by Robertson, collaborating with Building Control and the University.

Logistical challenges due to limited access, the footprint of the site, and the city centre location, were overcome through co-ordination of deliveries and effective management of the high pedestrian traffic. Our project compound at the University of Sheffield Sustainable Aviation Fuels site was used for storage of materials.

The project maintained high standards of quality and safety with early coordination and regular communication with building occupants, subcontractors and the university.  The project highlighted the benefits of a collaborative approach and the need for thorough preconstruction planning prior to commencing works on site.
