LA GUERRE AND VIDE BOUTEILLE SCHOOLS ON TRACK FOR NEW ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR 2022 - 2023.

Construction and Industrial Equipment (CIE) Ltd is proud to announce that work is moving at a steady pace on both the La Guerre and Vide Bouteille Primary Schools. “As we're about to enter the final 3 - 4 months phase of the project, the race is on heading towards full completion in time for the new academic school year 2022-2023,” says architect, Jeffrey Mckie.

With regards to site works, McKie confirms that all major retaining structures are completed with a small portion of the seating wall at the La Guerre school being formed and prepared for concrete pouring by next week. Completion of this retaining wall will allow for the construction of the septic tank and soak away.

Site drainage systems are being worked on with the installation of the various storm pipes and setting out of man-holes and open drains.

The architect went on to pinpoint that much attention is now being placed on the roofs of both buildings. “The focal points for both buildings now are the completion of the reinforced concrete roofs. At La Guerre; the roof of the main classrooms block is ready for concrete however we are awaiting the completion of preparatory work on the admin block so the complete roof can be done in one pour.”

He continues, “This is scheduled to be done within the first week in April. While La Guerre’s Primary School roof is in a more advanced advance stage and it is expected the pouring of Vide Bouteille roof will follow soon after with the shift of manpower.”

“Once the roofs are done,” McKie says, “Focus will be shifted toward the construction of the various wheelchair access ramps which have already been set out for both buildings.”

Work continues in other areas of the buildings including the internal and external rendering (plastering) of walls and making good the opening for installation of windows. Doors are expected to be on-site on-site next week.

We also see continued Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) rough-ins on the first and second floors.

 With the weather being on our side at this time of the year and the arrival of procured items, Mr. McKie does not expect, any major delays which will hinder the completion of the project on time.
