PCE Ltd were onsite at the University of Lincoln erecting three blocks of student accommodation for F P McCann Ltd under a construction only contract.

F P McCann were awarded the design and build project for three blocks of student accommodation of up to eleven storeys high, using their precast concrete crosswall construction solution by Bowmer and Kirkland who were main contractor for the University’s continued expansion of their accommodation facilities at Brayford Wharf.

With an onsite duration of less than six months and a contract value near to £1 million, PCE erected the offsite engineered precast concrete components, as well as the individual room bathroom pods, using their highly experienced site construction team to provide a high quality result with maximum focus on site safety.

PCE were able to build the facility thanks to the benefits of precast offsite construction techniques.

A combination of a mobile and a tower crane enabled them to complete the project within the anticipated onsite duration of less than six months.

Safety

 PCE erected the offsite engineered precast concrete components, as well as the individual room bathroom pods, using their highly experienced site construction team to provide a high quality result with maximum focus on site safety.

Quality

Speed

Value

Tight site boundaries and a single lane access road required thorough logistic planning and coordination to meet programme and allowance for other trades.
