Overview: Primary School and Nursery within London’s Royal Docks regeneration site, with exceptional CCS scoring
Situated within London’s Royal Docks’ Royal Wharf development, this new build Primary School and Nursery will accommodate up to 450 pupils from Royal Wharf and the wider community of Newham.
As part of the Section 106 Agreement, the scheme was a traditional contract with extensive CDPs. Working together with design managers and the preconstruction team, the project was brought in line with the proposed budget to ensure a transparent approach. The efficient construction approach consists of an RC frame on a raft slab, traditional brick built with Metsec infill, curtain walling and a sports MUGA area created at roof level.
The school is positioned in the heart of the existing Royal Wharf development and as such communication with other contractors was essential to ensure coordination. The Scheme was awarded a Certificate of Excellence through CCS, scoring 43/45 on both visits.
