Airbus - A leader in designing, manufacturing and delivering aerospace products, services and solutions.

Location:

Bristol, England

Duration

5 weeks

Constructed

2022

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 solution:

  • Working within a live secure environment
  • Select group of specialist contractors and Sweet Projects team for security clearance
  • Project mapping to meet tight deadlines

Having worked with Sweet Projects for over twenty years, they are my preferred choice for our all of our real estate and construction solutions, managing complex projects in often difficult environments.
