TWYFORD LIBRARY

We are very proud to have been the lead designers and project managers for the refurbishment of a disused former school budling to the new Twyford Library, which recently opened.

The listed building was ‘brought back to life’ after being comprehensively refurbished after falling into disrepair and being unused for many years.

dining hall and servery

Thames Valley Surveying designed and managed the refurbishment of the Dining Hall at Emmbrook School, the finished space looks excellent and has improved facilities at the school significantly.

Drone Surveys

Thames Valley Surveying have invested in a camera drone and in training staff to achieve CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) accreditation to allow it to be flown commercially, with comprehensive insurance cover.

Drone surveys allow inspection of otherwise inaccessible high level areas prior to erection of scaffolding in a safe and cost effective manner.

Our inspections have highlighted significant issues which can be incorporated into future planned maintenance projects.

Dinton Pastures - Barn

Thames Valley Surveying were asked to manage the design, procurement and contract administration of a new barn at Dinton Pastures Country Park.

The project included:
• Demolition of existing timber barn
• Construction of new barn
• Asbestos removal

 Modular Classrooms

Thames Valley Surveying Managed the installation of modular classrooms on 3 school sites on behalf of a local council managing the procurement process and undertaking the role of Employers Agent under the JCT Design and Build contract.

TVS also obtained Planning Consent and Building Control approval for the buildings.

Despite complications due to ground conditions and the proximity of a railway requiring a BAPA agreement from Network Rail all three projects were delivered on time ready for use by the schools for the start of the new term.

While we strongly believe that Modular Buildings of this type are not the best solution in the majority of cases, in this instance there was alternative to ensure that the projects were complete within the programme.

Cantley Park Tennis Courts

Thames Valley Surveying worked with Wokingham Borough Council to provide 6 new tennis courts, refurbish the existing 6 courts and provide new floodlighting and clubhouse.

TVS managed the process including obtaining planning consent and subsequently taking on the role of Employers Agent and managed the procurement and construction of the courts
