Challenges identified at site survey
- Installations were to be completed out of term time.
- Access to certain areas of the campus was difficult and then manual handling of equipment was required to move kits and components to the various locations.
- Removal of soil was well planned so the storage of skips on site could minimised.
- Ensuring each site was safe secure because large numbers of people were still planned on site out of the academic terms.
