We are honoured to have been entrusted with this work in diverting major utility supplies and area remodelling in preparation for major works in the coming years.
This serves as a continuation of the work that we have been partnering on with the college over the last few years, notably the Roofing Project for B-Block and T-Block: Working with Coleg Gwent over two of their campus’, we were tasked with the renewal of significant areas of the college’s roofs. The work was accomplished over 15 weeks, with the project sites needing to be accessible for the resumption of classes in September of that year.
