7th June 2016

5.14.81  On 7th June, it was reported at a CIMT meeting that a further revised programme would be submitted by ESP in relation to the Phase 1 schools on Thursday 9th June 2016.

5.14.82  Amey had recently identified a further problem with the wall-tie solution in relation to the need to check expansion joints at the corners but they felt this could be dealt with without affecting their current programme dates. On review of whether this might equally be a problem on the Phase 2 schools, it was confirmed that the issue of the corner details had been dealt with and certified as acceptable.

5.14.83  Amey were still encountering problems getting any original drawings for Drummond High School. The currently proposed solution would require installing windposts to the walls within the main gymnasium hall but doing so would effectively reduce the free space in the gym to below that specified as required in the PPP1 Project Agreement. An alternative solution of attaching the windposts to the exterior of the gymnasium walls was being explored.

5.14.84  It was reported that Amey were working from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm and had now 90 workers and three steelwork teams engaged across the schools.
