Mayfield Primary Academy
Operating as a 315 place 1.5-form entry school complete with a 26 place nursery, the existing buildings stood as a time-served ‘CLASP’ system which were in a poor state of repair, and inefficiently configured. The existing school buildings were located to the centre of the site which limited the capacity for external play and team sports. The strategic vision for the new facility, delivered through the Education Funding Agency’s (EFA) Priority School Building Programme (PSBP), was to increase the pupil intake to 420 as a 2-form entry with 30 nursery places. The scheme required the new school to stay on the site of the existing facility, with the existing pupils decanting into temporary facilities.

Crowd Control Barrier Event
Providing efficient crowd control barriers for tens of thousands of Hindus from all across England and Wales attending the “Krishna Speaks” event in Leicester. The preacher rarely attends events outside India and his eight-day visit attracted people from America, Africa and elsewhere in Europe. Crowd control barriers were needed to ensure a secure site; to control the crowds at the entrance of the event, to help queuing in the dining tents, to keep the public away from certain areas, to protect entrances and exits of the tents and allow easily funnelling of attendants in and out of the main tents. Securing the site and providing the event organisers with quality solutions was incredibly important.

Motoring Ahead with Progress
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is the company behind the two premium heritage automotive brands. It had an urgent requirement for accommodation to house up to 600 personnel, a need driven by a new project being undertaken at the JLR Design & Engineering facility at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The building needed to provide a high quality working environment to satisfy the teams of highly skilled engineers it would be home to for the next few years. It also needed to be adaptable, capable of accommodating changing future needs quickly and easily. JLR needed the building up and running fast so the project could get underway. It had to be designed, manufactured, installed and occupied within six months.

Major Oil Refinery: Anti-Blast Portable Accommodation
During construction of a new project site safety officials at a major oil refinery decided they needed a range of portable accommodation to protect their workforce in areas of potential explosion. Elliott had for several years, provided a range of portable accommodation used for up to 1000 workers during construction work at the site. Although staff had been completely satisfied with the quality of the accommodation provided by Elliott there were concerns that they would not withstand adequately the pressure an explosion would create.

Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind: Welfare & Office Buildings
The Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm is a joint venture 504MW farm between SSE Renewables and RWE Renewables with 140 turbines, providing enough low-carbon renewable energy to power the equivalent of over 400,000 UK homes. During construction phase, two modular buildings were required to provide quality CDM-compliant welfare and comfortable office space facilities for the contractor crews. The project, located on a former herring site, is in a remote location with minimal local amenities, so the quality of the welfare and modular offices was a key consideration for the 260-week lease period. Following in-depth consultations with main contractor SSE Renewables, Elliott designed and built fully-furnished welfare and office accommodation to meet the client needs. The modular buildings were installed onto the concrete base of a previously demolished building, so Elliott undertook a full ground investigation to establish the foundation solution and service connections required.

Hilderthorpe Primary Academy
The school was in need of refurbishment of the majority of its building elements, including very substantial re-roofing, replacement of windows and external doors, concrete and brickwork repairs, toilet refurbishments, extensive electrical and mechanical services work. The school’s asbestos management plan also identified a significant presence of asbestos-containing material. Due to the size of the building and the scale of the works required it was considered best value for money to provide a new build and demolish the existing facility.
