Bowness High School Demolition

Project Overview

The Challenge

Bowness High School required extensive demolition and reconstruction work. This work was conducted while students and staff continued their daily activities throughout the building. The project demanded precise coordination between construction activities and school schedules to maintain safety and minimize disruption to education.

Working in an occupied school environment presented unique challenges, including restricted work hours, noise restrictions during class hours, controlled access to work areas, and constant awareness of student and staff safety. Every aspect of the project required careful planning.
