JB Corrie are proud of our recently completed fencing works to a school site in Andover. Originally tendered back in Spring 2022, we received an order from the main contractor for the works in November of that year. The overall project was to upgrade and redesign the tight main entrance to the school, with the safety of the staff and students of paramount importance.
As the layout was developed for both vehicle and pedestrian access, Corries worked closely with the main contractor and County appointed Landscape Architect, on the perimeter fencing to the front boundary, together with internal low level bow top railings to ensure safe passage to the school buildings. The vehicle access would be controlled by a low-level bow top double leaf entrance gates and a double leaf low-level bow top exit gate to a redefined centre island. Pedestrian access to both sides provided with single leaf gates to the new pathways.
The right-hand elevation to the entrance being secured with full height bow top railings, linked to a new timber boarded fence and internal access gate. Additional timber fencing was installed to secure storage areas, AC units and limit access to designated areas.
The steel fencing and gates were manufactured at our Petersfield based facility and after galvanising were polyester powder coated to a specific RAL colour as requested by the Landscape Architect. Being able to manufacture the steel railings and gates meant that not only were we able to comply with the specified design but we were able to control the whole process from order through to delivery to site. This was especially crucial as being a live site, there was only a small window of opportunity to carry out the installation package in late spring.
Corries fully trained install teams and our ability to liaise with designers, architects, contractors and clients led to another successful and high quality installation. One that we are pleased to show here.
