New
Scotland Yard, the public face of the Metropolitan Police Service
(MPS), required works to upgrade and refurbish some 90 separate
toilet areas throughout the buildings. The initial budget estimate
for these works was 1.5 million. After agreeing a basic schedule
of works and finishes, budgetary constraints meant that the majority
of the works has been deferred. However, the works to the Commissioners? personal
W/C facilities were completed and provided an indication of the
design flair and quality of installation that will be conveyed
elsewhere within the building.
The
toilet refurbishment project encompassed all male and female
W/Cs, and included the incorporation of new disabled facilities
to meet forthcoming DDA legislation. Watts provided
expertise in surveying; mechanical, electrical and public health
engineering; and architectural flair! |
A
superior specification of finishes was required for the completed
senior officers facilities. All of this work needed to be programmed
to allow the building occupiers to continue to work on a 24-hour
basis.
