March 2020

Over the past month, BAM have been working to get the precast flooring installed along with the precast staircases. Steelwork is now complete and precast lift shafts are due to be installed in April 2020.

The steelwork for the shroud surrounding the fume cupboard flues has been installed and this is the tallest point of the building.

Work on the steel frame erection continues and the installation of pre-cast flooring has commenced. The next milestone is the arrival of the pre-cast staircases due at the end of February 2020. Within the steelwork, the form and mass of the building is now more evident with features such as the entrance colonnade now being visible.

Groundworks on site are well underway with the installation of piling complete and the precast bases of the lifts now installed. Steelwork is due to commence this month alongside further groundworks to install the drainage connections for the building. Just before Christmas, BAM Construction utilised a drone to capture the progress on site which can be viewed below and shows the extent of the building footprint at this stage.

Piling works to commence

Following a period of enabling works, BAM Construction will now be commencing main works for the Medical School Building this week. From Tuesday 5^th November, piling works will commence for a period of four weeks. To minimise noise and vibration, BAM will be using continuous flight auger piles, which are screwed into the ground rather than driven. Piling will take place in normal working hours.

Medical School Enabling Works

From Monday 19th August until Friday 13th September, enabling works will begin for the Lincoln Medical School. These works include installation of perimeter hoarding and excavation of existing mounds and will allow for a clear and level site ahead of the main construction which is due to commence in October 2019.

During this period of works, there will be an increase in vehicle movement around the boulevard car park to the Medical School construction site. Whilst the main excavation works are taking place, between Tuesday 27th August until Friday 13th September, there will be a significant increase in vehicular traffic to allow for the excavated materials to be removed from the site. It is anticipated that this will be between 70 – 80 wagons a day. A road sweeper will be employed to ensure that the car park is kept as clear as possible during this time.

Following Friday 13th September, continuing minor works will be self-contained within the newly formed site ahead of the start of main construction works.

BAM Construction to Deliver Next Stage of Lincoln Medical School

The University of Lincoln has appointed BAM Construction to deliver the next stage of the Lincoln Medical School.

After the completion of the first stage of a competitive two-stage tendering process through the YorBuild framework, BAM was selected to develop the detailed design and finalise costs for the major new academic facility on the University’s Brayford Pool Campus; the first of its kind in Lincolnshire.

Working in collaboration with the University and Perfect Circle JV, BAM will create the most sustainable building at the University featuring a living wall and solar wall which celebrate the sustainable aspirations of the scheme.

Green Light for Lincoln Medical School Building

The University of Lincoln, UK, has been given the official go-ahead to build Lincolnshire’s first ever medical teaching facility.

It is set to be the most sustainable building on the Brayford campus and the first in Lincoln to include a green wall and a solar wall.

Approval for the plans were unanimously agreed at a meeting of the City of Lincoln council’s planning committee last night (Wednesday 27 March 2019).

It comes after the University of Lincoln and University of Nottingham were successful in a joint bid to establish a new medical school for Lincolnshire.
