Installation of glazing under way at super-school
ALUMINIUM manufacturing and installation company AB Glass has started work at the new Eastern High School site in Cardiff.
The company was awarded a contract to provide design, manufacturing and installation services for the new school.
The contract has been awarded to the Swansea-based company by Willmott Dixon, one of the UK’s biggest privately owned construction and property services companies.
Following completion of the design and manufacture phases, AB Glass is now currently carrying out the installation of AA100 curtain wall screens, AA540 windows and AA190 doors, and AA100 SSG glass box curved glazing at the school.
The contract is worth in excess of £500,000 to AB Glass for the works at the £26m “super-school” based in Trowbridge, Cardiff.
Eastern High School is designed to create a learning environment that offers a smooth transition from school to college and will encourage more students to access post-16 education and training.
The Eastern High School project will assist AB Glass to reinforce its working relationships in Wales with its key clients and enhance its reputation for delivering substantial educational projects.
Alan Brayley, managing director at AB Glass, said: “Continuing our relationship with Willmott Dixon is very rewarding for the company and we are pleased to be involved with the development of this new state-of-the-art secondary school.
“Eastern High School will add to the work we do within the education sector and marks the second ‘super-school’ project the company has contributed to.
“We look forward to seeing the school opening for students in the east Cardiff area to enjoy later this year.”
