JYM were appointed by Royal Mail Group to undertake a significant programme of upgrade works to a mail and parcel sorting facility in the Midlands, acting as Project Manager, Building Surveyor and Principal Designer throughout.
Works were carried out across the site and included:
- Replacement of the fire alarm system
- Replacement of the CCTV installation
- Replacement of dock levellers and traffic doors
- Installation of new high-speed doors
- Replacement of personnel doors
- Installation of bird netting
- Replacement of the passenger lift
- Refurbishment of staff shower facilities
- Replacement of external yard drainage
- Roof repairs
- Repairs to operational yard surfaces
- Replacement of the vehicle weighbridge
A particular challenge was maintaining operations on the site, which runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This required careful management and programming, with works phased to minimise disruption.
All works were delivered on time and within budget.
