Pure Gym St Albans

Project Description

Client: Pure Gym
Location: St Albans
Duration: 9 weeks

The building to receive the mezzanine was located on a busy commercial estate, in a bustling St Albans suburb. Transport Segregation and coordination with Facility Management were key. 7 Formation carried out a suitability test of the Main Concrete Slab by means of core samples to confirm makeup and any unexpected structural characteristics. The build was carried out over a 2 week period and due to project critical PC dates, was installed following an accelerated program. The Mezzanine was designed to limit the number of legs required for a clean visual appearance when entering the building. Also, taking into consideration the client’s preferred accommodation and equipment layout, to maximise their use of the space below. This required significant design coordination between 7 Formation and the Clients Architects to achieve the desired look. The Mezzanine was finished with a full underdrawn FR60 MF Ceiling. Decorative column cases were installed to complete the look.
In all this was a smoothly operated build, which met the difficult and strict criteria through design to completion, to deliver a product that was not only functional but suited the client’s design needs.’

Sealife Centre

 

Project Description

Client: Merlin Entertainment
Location: Birmingham
Duration: 22 weeks

Acting as principal contractor, 7Formation were responsible for creating a 72,000 litre Sea Mammal tank with associated operational and quarantine rooms within the heart of the trading National Sea Life Centre – Birmingham. A 5m x 5m aperture was to be cut through the 370mm thick reinforced concrete slab, between the first and second floors. To enable the Sea Life Centre to remain trading, the works would require special planning with access for all materials via a hoist to an aperture through the external façade at the third-floor level. To prevent the overloading of the existing slab, the tank base was to be suspended utilising steel beams bolted to the existing columns. With the steels in place, the insulation and shuttering could commence. 150 tonnes of the specially designed concrete mix was pumped from the compound, 100m in distance and 13m high, to the working area within the heart of the building. With the base cast, the reinforced walls were constructed 350mm thick to withstand the pressure from the 60,000 litres of water required to fill the tank. 7Formation was also responsible for the management of mechanical, electrical, life support systems, GRP lining, glazing, theming, graphics and special effects.’
