Client: Department of Education & Science
Project: Rochestown School
ABM took on the role of project management within the Design and Build Consortium as well as the main contractor on this 8-classroom in Rochestown, Co. Cork.
This particular school consisted of an 8-classroom primary school covering approximately 1,100 sqm of teaching and administration space as per the DoES TGD room schedules. To achieve the fast-track programme the structural frame was built off-site using a light-weight steel frame system. This meant that after week 12 of the project the structure was erected and ready for windows and a roof. The external finish was a combination of pre-coloured acrylic render on a cement board combined with eternity wall cladding panels.
Stairwell walls, stair flights, landings, plant room walls and lift shaft walls were manufactured off-site from pre-cast concrete. The roofing consisted of insulated Kingspan Kingzip roof panels. 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.
