Precast Concrete Flooring for Ground Floor of New Wiltshire Primary School
Spanwright precast concrete floor slabs proved the optimum solution for the ground floor of an all new primary school in Melksham, Wiltshire. The 420 capacity primary school opened in time for the 2015/2016 school term to accommodate the growing population in the east of the town.
The main contractor appointed Spanwright UK as the precast concrete sub-contractor, responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of precast concrete products.
Long spans were required in order to reduce foundation requirements and the Spanwright design team specified a 200mm prestressed slab for the job. Notches and openings were required in the concrete slabs to cater for the steel frame and services. Manufactured in an ISO certified factory with strict quality control procedures proved important in the successful delivery of the project.
