Projects

Crown Paints Limited

A new Client for Thompson Construction, the contract was to extend their existing storage warehouse to one side which would house their new fleet of electric powered forklifts.

We knew that we had challenges with the contract, right from tender stage to completion with, overhead power lines, high water tables, untraced existing drainage runs and levels to the existing site, but we over came all of these and built the client exactly what was requested, all within the budgets & programme dates.

Main works consisted of steel frame with composite cladding, new up & over doors and power floated floor, due to the existing site having bad ground piling was required as well as ground beam reinforcement and slab reinforcement.

Internally due to the end use of the building to charge electric vehicles the spilt from old to new had to be 1 hour fire protected.

Overall a great project to contracted to build.

Hastings Medical Centre

The first medical centre for us and we really enjoyed extending the existing surgery and fully renovating the existing building to produce a magnificent doctor’s surgery where more patients can be seen due to the surgery’s growth.

Two extensions, internal structural alterations, full Plumbing, electrical, fire, CCTV, Intruder and nurse call system with drainage diversions, External carparking all to bring the building up to modern standards.

Additionally, to the project there was another phase of the work which was included while our team was on site, the first-floor Vegan rooms with ground floor adaptions and alteration within part of the existing factory.

The project was very demanding on hygiene due to what they do daily with all work having to be coordinated to suit their needs and shutdown timescales, nevertheless we collaborated and completed the project for them.
