Thorpe Park Academy with Thermaweld
The Project
The roof of the Thorpe Park Academy was over 50 years old and showed signs of ageing. Watershed Roofing worked with Venn Academy to create a solution to meet the needs of the building.
The Specification required improved insulation, removal and replacement of glazing panels, and specialist asbestos removal. It was also vital that the project was completed without disrupting teaching and daily routine at the school.
Client: Venn Academy Trust
Contractor: Watershed Roofing
Solutions: BMI Icopal Thermaweld

Complexity
Complexity
These complex roof shapes demanded considerable skill from the Watershed operatives and each roof area required great skill and attention to detail by operatives.
The Watershed team demonstrated excellent craftsmanship and high levels of workmanship, particularly throughout the complex detailing.
Project Management
Project Management
Working on a live site with nearly 600 pupils presented Watershed Roofing with a familiar challenge. The project and its various stages were discussed with the school and the academy trust and the school was consulted each week on what was planned.
School staff were consulted each day to ensure that the schedule of works was designed with absolute minimum disruption to the school day. Even the delivery and collection of materials and waste was scheduled for before and after school hours.
