Solution
Hurst proposed a reconfiguration to the layout to maximise the existing washroom space, enabling additional cubicles to be installed. The refurbishment included new toilets, solid grade laminate (SGL)toilet cubicles, and sanitaryware, alongside installation of new ceilings, flooring and hygienic wall cladding, enhancing the overall hygiene and functionality of the space.
Hurst’s M&E team also upgraded the lighting and extraction systems, along with implementing a variation to the client’s heating system.
In the staff breakroom, the existing kitchen units were replaced, and new flooring and doors were installed, resulting in a more modern and functional space for site staff.
