Control Building

Client	Environment Agency
Contractor	ATC
Project	Control Building
Location	Hull – Tidal Barrier
Value	£110,000

This project involved the construction of a new control building and storage area for the Environment Agency, to accommodate the new electrical control system for the Hull Tidal Surge Barrier as part of a major refurbishment programme.

The structure was built on a buried raft foundation 1m deep to form a service trench and service entry points. The foundation required a waterproof system and suspended floor in metalwork and concrete. Above ground was brickwork with cladding to the brick face and cladding to all sides, with a Sarnafil roof membrane.

Hard landscaping of the exterior areas around the building included block paving and tarmac surfacing.

The works were carried out on a tight 10 week deadline, with completion required for the end of January – this was in accordance with the specific requirements of the Environment Agency, taking into account the bird nesting season.

Although the programme was disrupted due to the extreme winter, ATC mitigated the delay and completed on time.

The project was completed to the clients full satisfaction and within budget.
