Scope of Work: Structural Steelwork Installation
Project Overview
We recently collaborated with Skechers on an exciting project at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Our team was responsible for installing the supporting steelwork needed for the new glass installation at their store. This structural enhancement was essential to ensure the stability and longevity of the glass elements, aligning with Skechers’ modern and stylish store design.
Scope of Work
The project involved the precise fabrication and installation of high-quality steel supports to reinforce the new glass features. Our experienced engineers and installation team worked closely with Skechers and other contractors to ensure seamless integration with the existing store structure. Key aspects of the project included:
- Site Survey & Planning: Conducting an initial site survey to assess requirements and plan the installation with minimal disruption to store operations.
- Fabrication & Preparation: Manufacturing steel components to exact specifications, ensuring durability and compliance with safety regulations.
- Installation Process: Implementing the supporting steelwork efficiently and securely to provide the necessary reinforcement for the glass installation.
- Coordination with Contractors: Collaborating with Skechers’ project team and other trades on-site to ensure a smooth workflow and timely completion.
Challenges & Solutions
Every construction project comes with its own set of challenges, and this one was no different. Working within the busy Trafford Centre required careful planning to minimize disruption to shoppers and neighbouring retailers. Our team scheduled work during off-peak hours and maintained a streamlined workflow to ensure efficiency without compromising on quality.
Additionally, the precision required for the steel installation was critical, as the new glass elements had to fit perfectly within the framework. By using advanced measuring techniques and expert craftsmanship, we ensured that all steelwork was installed with absolute accuracy.
Results & Client Satisfaction
The project was successfully completed within the agreed timeline and met all quality and safety standards. Skechers was extremely satisfied with the outcome, as the steelwork not only provided the necessary structural support but also complemented the aesthetic appeal of their store’s new glass installation.
