Stepney Green School
Structural Renovations Ltd are nearing completion of a major external overhaul of the south elevation of the 8 storey teaching block at Stepney Green School in London's East End. Erection of scaffold commenced the minute the children broke up for the summer holidays to allow replacement of the original metal framed windows, concrete repairs and anti carbonation coatings, internal making good and painting of decorative spandrel panels. Working to a tight programme that allowed the school cleaners and IT staff back into the effected rooms prior to the new term was always going to be a challenge but scaffold was struck by the end of August and the works completed on time.

ConstructionSkills Site Supervisor's Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)
The Company has recently embarked on further Health and Safety training for all their site managers through ConstructionSkills. This course is for first line managers - those who have, or are about to acquire supervisory responsibilities. It provides an introduction to health and safety, welfare and environmental issues for those requiring an understanding of their legal responsibilities relevant to their work activities. It provides a sound knowledge base to enable them to give valuable assistance in safely managing a construction site and is an excellent stepping stone towards achievement of an NVQ in site management.
