Minister Bat O’Keefe to attend official opening of Fast-tracked Rochestown School
23/06/2009
The official opening of the 8-classroom Rochestown School in Cork which was fast-tracked by ABM Design & Build will take place on Friday 26th June 2009. The school will be opened by the Minister of Education, Bat O’Keefe.
Teachers, parents and pupils alike are delighted with their new school which was constructed from a light-weight steel frame system.
To achieve the stipulated 21-week fast-track programme, the building structure was manufactured off-site using an insulated light gauge steel frame system which eliminated more traditional methods of construction such as in-situ concrete and block work. This allowed the on-site works to the structure, including the windows and roof, to be completed in a mere 6 weeks.
Wherever possible, off site fabrication of the internal components were used such as pre-hung door sets, internal wall partitions, kitchens, cubicles, and heating pipe work runs.
ABM Design & Build have developed an enviable reputation for the maintenance of high quality standards whilst constructing within a rapid-build programme.
