PROJECT BACKGROUND

Castle Mill is a 437No. bed, ten-block student accommodation development within the University of Oxford campus.

Following a survey that was carried out by a third party, Miller Knight provided a cost-effective solution to rectify the non-compliant and missing fire protection. The contract was secured via a competitive tender process.

SERVICES PROVIDED

• Sealing all missing and non-compliant communal service penetrations throughout the blocks, including compartment walls and floors. This included fire door remediation or replacement within rooms and main corridors.
• A full-time resident liaison officer and site management team was provided. Full audit-trail and works were recorded on our Firetronic system.
• Redecoration and reinstatement works.
• All works were completed in the specified period and certified and signed off with a FIRAS certificate of conformity.
• Working across occupied properties and communal areas, we ensured minimal disruption to the students.
• Operatives followed strict COVID-19 protocols and preventative measures on site, including daily testing.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Miller Knight strive for success and the highest quality outcome for any contracted services.

• ON TIME: Project was completed on time to the client within the tight timescales with no disruption to service provision.
• SENSITIVE WORKING: We shaped and adapted our working practices to adhere to the sensitive working environment we operated in, in order to minimise disruption and remain operational.
