Like many consultants we have been very involved with BSF (Building Schools for the Future) projects around the UK over the past few years until that overnight change. Fortunately a few of the schemes we’ve been involved with are moving forward, the Hull BSF for example. All of Met’s surveyors and geophysicists are CRB checked making working in schools and colleges during term time a viable option for clients. Typically, on most schemes we have provided, topographical and measured building surveys, and utility mapping with CCTV surveys for existing drainage. However, our engineers have also provided transport assessments and travel plans including for the Bradford Academy. Stratford City in the Olympic Village We’ve been doing our bit for 2012 too! We worked with John Aynsley’s Architectural Metalwork to set out the positions for the impressive atrium and walkways being constructed as part of the new Marks and Spencer at Stratford City in the Olympic Village. Dave Benson, Technical Director at John Aynley’s commented “although the site visit did not go according to plan due to site logistics, the team from Met Surveys were excellent in providing the required points on the relevant floors in order for us to position the walkways at a later date”. Thanks Dave, it was a pleasure to be of service.
