Abbey Hall Separation Wall Works

Description

Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council wishes to engage a contractor to undertake refurbishment of Abbey Hall, which includes the separation of the existing building into two independently functioning buildings: Abbey Hall and Guildhall. The project requires the disconnection, alteration, and installation of M&E services necessary to enable the operational separation of the two buildings, ensuring that each has independent building services while maintaining the integrity and functionality of the retained systems. The project comprises the modification and reconfiguration of the existing mechanical and electrical services within the Guildhall to facilitate the operational separation of the two buildings. The works include the removal of redundant services within the Guildhall, the disconnection and isolation of all interconnecting services between the Guildhall and Abbey Hall, the modification of retained services within the Guildhall, and the installation of new services to accommodate newly formed rooms and partitions. The scope of this contract is principally confined to the Guildhall. Works within Abbey Hall are limited to the safe disconnection and isolation of interconnecting services. The reinstatement or modification of retained services within Abbey Hall is excluded from this contract and will be undertaken by others. The Contractor shall provide a complete, fully operational installation, including all incidental and ancillary works necessary to achieve a compliant and functional system. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the project drawings and specifications, the JDP General Technical Specification for Mechanical and Electrical Services (Parts 3M and 3E), and all relevant statutory regulations, British Standards, and industry best practice. The Guildhall, together with Roysse's School and the Gateway at the west end of the Guildhall, forms part of a Grade II listed complex. Contractors shall ensure that no building services, fixings, supports, or ancillary installations are attached to, penetrate, or otherwise adversely affect the listed building fabric. The extent of the listed elements and any associated heritage constraints shall be verified on site prior to the commencement of works, and all activities shall be undertaken with due regard to the historic significance of the building and in accordance with any applicable conservation requirements.
