The brief:
Sweet Projects were selected to revisit and reprofile the existing concrete ramp into the warehouse, plus fully refurbish the existing offices, kitchen/toilet areas with associated mechanical and electric services.
The concrete ramp was repurposed to better suit the needs of the warehouse, making it easier for large items to aircraft equipment to be manoeuvred in and out. The refurbishment of the offices and kitchen/toilet areas created a more comfortable and welcoming environment.
Shot blast, repair and repaint to the existing floor to the main warehouse and completely redecorate. These works not only improved its appearance but also made it safer to employees to navigate.
Key challenges:
- Programme of works
- Top level security clearance for key staff
- Challenging refurbishment

The Effort Collaboration and Teamwork exhibited was exceptional and has delivered a transformation in facilities which has been very well received by the end users in Filton Plant.
The less visible but essential maintenance activities and upgrades will help the business to deliver its production targets for the coming year and into the future.
