Purpose

Structural survey was carried out and any
urgent areas addressed. Further works have been specified and
priced to allow completion over the school summer holidays.
A Structural condition survey was undertaken in autumn 2023 for
Nova Primary School and a report produced (15 November 2023)
highlighting spalling concrete in the building which needed to be
addressed within the next 3 - 12months. As Bristol City Council do
not have the in-house expertise to specify remediation works, the
aim was to let a consultancy contract via Constellia to then tender
the works element. However due to unforeseen delays it has taken
Constellia longer than anticipated to appoint a Structural Engineer
to support the project. Kendal King Scott were appointed by
Constellia in mid-April and confirmed production of specification
by end May. However, as these works can only be undertaken during
the summer holidays when the school is vacant to pupils the
contract needs to commence 23rd July 2024.
