Athy School Opens to Public Acclaim
08/12/2009
Pupils and staff of Athy School have settled happily into their new school which was fast-tracked by ABM within a tight 20-week programme.
Teachers, parents and pupils alike are delighted with their new school which was innovatively constructed from a light-weight steel frame system.
To achieve the 20-week fast-track programme as stipulated by the DoES, the building structure was manufactured off-site using an insulated light gauge steel frame system which eliminated more traditional and laborious methods of construction such as in-situ concrete work. This allowed the on-site works to the structure, including 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 have developed an unrivalled reputation for the maintenance of high quality standards whilst constructing within a rapid-build programme.
