Site managers Tomasz Magiera and Firhan Rudorf-Saeed are on site throughout the working day and should be the first point of contact for any issues. They are continuing to hold weekly meetings with the users of Building 4SA, and attend the monthly University Contractors\u2019 meeting with a view to keeping staff and students informed of our works and to give notice of any potential disruption.<\/p>\n<p>As with last month\u2019s update, road conditions are continuously monitored, and a road sweeper is being utilised as and when required.<\/p>\n<p>The precast concrete plank installation for first floor and roof levels are now 100% complete. The first floor has also been covered in a concrete structural topping in order to allow following trades to progress. The same process is being repeated this week, with the roof being covered in a structural topping.<\/p>\n<p>We will soon be building up the external and internal walls on the first floor, working towards getting the building relatively watertight by the beginning of October. Internal walls have started to go up on the ground floor, with the external fa\u00e7ade being progressed at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>There is an element of works which requires excavating in part of Car Park B just outside of the site hoarding \u2013 this is initially to investigate a possible position for the location of an attenuation tank necessary to accommodate the storm water from the completed Milner Building. At present, these works have not been confirmed, and the team will endeavour to give the University adequate warning as to when the works will be carried out.<\/p>\n<p>The site had its first Considerate Constructor\u2019s visit this month, and we are pleased to report that we did very well across all 5 areas of the scheme (Care about Appearance, Respect the Community, Protect the Environment, Secure Everyone\u2019s Security &amp; Value the Workforce) \u2013 receiving an overall score of Very Good.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding whilst the construction phase is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-Centre-September.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-355\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-Centre-September.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-Centre-September.jpg 628w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-Centre-September-300x72.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current site<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-2.jpg 408w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-1.jpg 408w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/new-builds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2017\/09\/Milner-September-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the eighth monthly update aimed at keeping you up to speed on the new Milner Centre for Evolution Project.
