CDV - Building 20 - Replacement of external Cladding and internal Welfare Refurbishment

Expressions of Interest are requested for the below works:

The Copehill Down Village (CDV) Urban Training facility was designed in the mid 1980’s to enable training for Operations in Built up Areas. At some point, Building 20 was ‘converted’ into office and welfare for use by the site management team.

The structure is cast in-situ concrete and concrete blockwork with timber framing and Supalux fibreboard cladding. Due to the breakdown of the weathering surface, water ingress has occurred. Patch repairs are impractical as all elevations are affected to significant extent. It will be necessary to erect a sheeted scaffold to allow the existing cladding to be safely removed.

A design has been completed under a separate contract which calls for Rockpanel Stone rain screen cladding system with insulation beneath. Existing crenellations will be in-filled and clad over. The flat roof of the observation deck will be replaced with single ply membrane and insulation.

Welfare facilities on the first floor consist of two toilets, a small kitchenette and a rest room will be thoroughly refurbished and redecorated.

Construction is to be completed by March 2023.
