From Ground to Finished Floor at Appleby Grammar School 👷‍♂️🏗️

These before & after photos show the transformation inside the building as the works have progressed.

📸 Before: Steel frame in place, with the ground still being prepared and levelled & the remainder of the drainage system nearing complete
📸 After: A completed, high-quality concrete floor providing a solid platform for the next stage of construction.

From ground preparation and sub-base works through to concrete floor construction, every stage has required careful planning, precision and coordination to achieve the finished result.

It’s great to see the progress taking shape and the hard work of the team coming together on site. 💪

☀️ When the North East decides it’s Spain… 🌵

We’re not complaining about the sunshine… but the ground might be!

With the recent dry and dusty conditions, we’re putting a few extra measures in place across our sites to keep things safe, controlled and moving as they should.

💦 Water bowsers in action – keeping dust down and working areas damp
🚜 Regular watering of haul roads & working areas
👷 Keeping a close eye on ground conditions as the weather continues
🌬️ Managing dust levels to protect our teams and those working around site
💧 And, of course… making sure the team are keeping hydrated too!

The dry weather might be great for the BBQ, but when you’re moving thousands of tonnes of material, a bit of rain wouldn’t go amiss!

We’ll keep adapting our working practices to suit the conditions and make sure our sites remain safe, efficient and productive whatever the British weather throws at us.

Groundwork Services (Durham) – getting the job done, come rain or shine. 💪

🚧 Progress Update – Newcastle Extension Project 🚧

Despite the recent hot weather, our team has been pushing on and making excellent progress on site in Newcastle, with the foundations now successfully poured for the second phase of the extension.

Working in high temperatures brings its own challenges when placing and finishing concrete, but careful planning and close attention to curing conditions have helped ensure a high-quality finish throughout the slab.

Following the successful installation of the steel frame and preparation works, the concrete pour has now been completed, creating a solid foundation ready for the next stage of construction. The slab has been carefully finished and jointed to provide long-term durability and performance.

It's great to see the project continuing to take shape, progressing from groundwork and structural steelwork through to completed foundations and ready for the next phase of the build.

A huge thank you to everyone on site for their hard work, professionalism, and commitment during the warm conditions to keep the project moving forward safely and efficiently 👌🏽

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue transforming this site.
