Saintfield High School

This project was delivered as part of the DENI School Enhancement Programme. Key elements of the construction works involved:

• construction of a three court indoor sports hall at first floor level with associated sports equipment, line markings, stores and plant room. Covered car parking (13 spaces) is provided at surface level
• new entrance lobby, waiting room and Bursar’s office
• internal refurbishment works to construct new male & female team changing rooms, WCs, shower cubicles & accessible showers
• construction of a first floor link corridor between the existing school and new sports hall
• constructing an access footbridge from the Comber Road footpath, incorporating PPC aluminium handrails/balustrading
• remedial works to the existing flat roof
• external works comprised a 2.5m high Anchor block retaining wall and re-surfacing to the existing car park

The works were carried out on a fully live school site with over 350nr pupils aged 11-16 years old, staff and visitors. Working space was severely restricted and strict H&S control measures were successfully implemented to ensure the safe running of normal ongoing school activities.
