Project Scope:

Flaktwoods latest technology in Air Handling Equipment was at the centre of the project scope. Encouraged by this sustainable approach to facility management by the client, Tritech Group responded with a commitment to managing the construction works using a conscientious and sustainable strategy within the constraints of a small site compound in a public space.

Our Senior Health and Safety advisor Ruth Hayes managed these aspects of the project in partnership with all onsite staff and subcontractors achieving a site safety score of 97% at the completion of the project. Tritech team delivered this project in a safe, sustainable, and successful way, exceeding the expectations of the design team and the client.
