The challenge
Upgrading doors across an occupied school estate.
The programme covered the Nursery, Health Centre, Sports Centre, Hastings Building and Skinner Building. Existing doorsets needed to be removed and replaced while teaching and day-to-day activity continued around the works.
Once doors were removed in the Skinner Building, hidden structural issues revealed apertures too small for compliant replacement doorsets.
The solution
On-site judgement without compromising compliance.
Emergi-Safe adapted the programme and reworked the surrounding brickwork to create correct openings. The additional work was completed safely and methodically, allowing compliant doorsets to be installed while minimising disruption to the school.
The result
Safer buildings and a completed programme.
- Improved fire compartmentation
- Compliant replacement doorsets
- Practical resolution of concealed structural issues
- Minimal disruption across occupied buildings
- High-quality, documented workmanship
