Snarlton Farm in Bath, Somerset

Location: Bath

1. Project Overview

• Client Name: Protomax Plastics
• Project Description: A small domestic project nestled in the beautiful countryside. Our customer sought to extend their outdoor living area with a robust slab designed to endure over time.
• Services Provided:
  • Supply & Installation of 77m² of CMF MF60, 0.9mm Metal Decking
  • X-HVB Shear Connectors
  • Mesh reinforcement and concrete

2. Objectives

• Client’s Needs: The client required guidance with the design and delivery of the package, which we were able to provide.
• Goals: Achieve a smooth power float finish on the floor, laid on a slight angle to eliminate standing water.

3. Challenges

• Unique Challenges:
  • Delivering materials presented a significant challenge due to very limited access to the work area.
• Solutions:
  • We coordinated with the local farmer and employed him to transport the materials to the work front using his tractor and trailer across the fields.

4. Process

• Design & Planning:
  • During the design process, our technical team maintained constant communication with the client’s architects and engineers to ensure that no details were overlooked.
• Implementation:
  • Our team value-engineered the project to ensure the client received the best value for their investment. This included:
    • Correct material selection
    • Minimization of on-site cutting
  • All SPL layout designs were approved by the client before any materials were ordered.
• Technology & Tools:
  • Due to access limitations, we couldn’t bring our stud welding rig close to the work area. Instead, we opted for shot-fired Hilti X-HVB shear connectors for efficient installation.

5. Results

• Project Success:
  • The project was successful, and the client expressed satisfaction with the outcome. All works were signed off with no snags.
• Key Metrics:
  • Efficient use of materials and labor led to a timely project delivery.
