Under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Government scheme, Greenwich Council granted planning permission at Plumstead Manor School for two new buildings to include a Performing Arts and Sports Centre, together with a Sixth Form and Vocational block on the lower part of the school site.
The main contractor Balfour Beatty Construction who have a lasting relationship with Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd appointed the specialist flooring division of Cemplas to undertake 3500m2of a quick drying screed.
Cemplas choose to use Ronacrete’s 8-Day overlay screed laid unbonded on to 1200 gauge polythene sheeting. Ronacrete’s 8-Day overlay was pumped with a Putzmeister Screed Pump allowing the operative to place spots of screed at strategic locations which would allow the screeder to set the correct height relative to the datum using laser levels.
Balfour Beatty operates a “Zero Harm policy” The primary goals of Zero Harmare Zero fatalities: No seriously disabling injuries: No long term harm to health. Cemplas shared this innovation and worked towards this collective goal by establishing design, management, and behavioural protocols and site hazards to eliminate potential risk.
On completion of the screeding works the specialist flooring division of Cemplas handed over to Balfour delivering the work to a high standard, within budget and on programme. Balfour Beatty Construction have subsequently awarded Cemplas further screeding works to Eltham Hill Tech College and Lonsdale School.
Other specialist flooring operations undertaken by Cemplas include:
● Traditional screeds (Sand Cement): Fast drying and specialist accelerated screeds;
● Polymer modified screeds (SBR): Floor levelling compounds: Granolithic screeds;
● Bonded, unbonded and floating screeds: Free flowing self-levelling screeds;
● Anhydrite free-flowing self-levelling and self-compacting screeds;
