OVERVIEW
This complicated 90-bed hotel refurbishment project was delivered in a busy high street in the heart of London.
CHALLENGE
Our access to the hotel suites was via a stairwell and many of the materials and equipment had to be manually transported to the third and fourth floors.
Due to the lack of on-site storage space, deliveries to the high street site had to be precisely timed so vehicles could park close to the hotel.
This logistical challenge was compounded by the close proximity of a public house and fast food outlet and a high number of pedestrians around the site.
SOLUTION
As well as working considerately and to the highest of health and safety standards, we also staged late night working to minimise the disruption to people, businesses, retail, traffic and the wider community.
RESULTS
A 90-bed hotel refurbishment, the project was delivered in a busy high street in the heart of London.
Two plant rooms – one on the roof that included a combined heat and power unit and condensers and the other in the basement – were created to make best use of the space available.
Due to the success of the scheme, we secured another Premier Inn scheme at Tolworth.
