The Requirement

The client required a durable structure that would be able to stand a period of 3-5 years to provide a covered area to accommodate the staff check-in process and provide a welfare facility.

The facility needed to be connected to the site cabins to utilise the servicing hatches, secured to the existing substrate, and provide several entry/ exit points to assist with crowd management.

The Solutions

Field & Lawn installed the two structures onto the existing substrate, using treated timber packing and a steel sub-base flooring system to create a seamless level surface. The temporary buildings were installed in a matter of days and fitted with steel cladding to the walls, anti-condensation lining to mitigate water ingress and a PVC roof.

 

a large temporary welfare building on hard ground

Internally,  Olympia hard wearing carpet was selected to withstand the high footfall and to provide the required levels of durability. A total of twelve 2m x 2m double leaf glazed door units with either ramp or step access to provide entry and exit points around the structures, as well as a PVC partition to segregate a designated area for the cleaners.

The temporary welfare buildings were connected to the existing porta-cabins by welding PVC to the structure’s roofs and battening onto the porta-cabins.

A heated sock system was installed the full length of both structures to provide heating.
