Coordinated access plans, segregated work zones and daily communications with the station leadership aligned shift patterns with its works programme. Laura Rogers, Director at WRC, says, “Thanks to a great working relationship with NIFRS, any logistical issues were easily overcome. “The refurbishment balanced durable, low-maintenance materials with an approach that respects the station’s place in the community. The new resin floor, improved drainage, upgraded utilities and modernised office fit out have together future-proofed the building for current and future generations of NIFRS. “One of the highlights of this contract was the excellent relationship between our site team and the Newcastle station personnel. Their cooperation in planning, their operational knowledge and their willingness to coordinate made the more complex phases, especially working around shift patterns, much simpler than they might otherwise have been.
