Schedule of Works

This project involves both the rearrangement of the bus stand layout and road markings, and the creation of a new mess room facility at the TfL owned bus stand facility on Woodhouse Road, North Finchley; including one mess room (with fitted kitchenette), and three externally accessed toilets.

The building has a platform timber frame construction, clad with metal profiled sheeting above a 900mm high external wall, including a foundation slab. The building will require a new UKPN LV electricity connection and meter, new clean water connection to existing meter, and new foul sewer connection including the construction of 2 no. demarcation chambers and a preformed junction to the existing sewer in the adjacent carriageway.

Two polycarbonate clerestory windows and one aluminium/timber composite window provide daylight to both the mess room area and the individual toilets. Each toilet, and the mess room have a stainless steel door set, while two external service cupboards (one for power and the other for water) located either side of the mess room entrance have a secure stainless steel cupboard door.

The north boundary line (along Woodhouse Road) is to have a 900mm high wall with planter, replacing existing pedestrian guard railing, in line with the building brick plinth, while the toilet entrance facade of the building has a small 1000mm extended canopy.
