Britspace, pioneers in modular construction, will manufacture and install two new reception buildings at Haxby Road Primary School in York.
Due to the waterside location next to the Royal Docks, part of the construction process will involve specialist build activities carried out from floating pontoons, with specialist divers present to provide additional safety support.
David Jupp, Director of Sales and Marketing at Britspace, says: "This project perfectly demonstrates our core strength of providing a bespoke solution for potentially complex projects, while avoiding disruption to daily business operations.
As our modules and components are built in our factory in East Yorkshire, the site is prepared to accept the modular building, thereby significantly reducing the construction programme compared with traditional build techniques.
Quality is assured through our comprehensive ISO9001:2000 accredited procedures.
The bespoke design consists of 50 modules designed specifically to match the structural grid of the existing concrete apron.
Richard Gooding OBE, Chief Executive of London City Airport says: "We're delighted that Britspace can provide an efficient solution to ensure we can cater for our increased business - and with minor interruption to our staff and passengers".
To complement the existing terminal building and to sustain the appearance, the new extension will be a striking combination of Rainscreen Cladding and powder coated aluminium windows.
Britspace's modules dramatically reduce build time and construction costs, with the work at London City Airport expected to be complete by the end of May 2008.
Britspace has a 99% track record of completing projects on time and to budget.
