Video – Matthews goes back to school…

Time-lapse video captures demolition alongside live school building.

Sussex-based Matthews Group recently completed a sensitive project alongside a live school building in Acton, West London.

The scheme was an enabling contract to separate the two storey entrance buildings and a first floor pedestrian link bridge from the main school building, in advance of the complete redevelopment of the area.

“We were on site for eight weeks and contracted directly by the ESFA to undertake these works,” says development manager Robert Williamson. “The remaining school remained live and we had to deal with all of the usual trials and tribulations, asbestos and CFC foam work.”
