Ysgol Morswyn

Ysgol Morswyn required a fast, high-quality extension to meet growing pupil numbers while minimising disruption to the existing school. Working alongside the appointed architect, we delivered a highly insulated, precision-engineered SIP structure that was fully erected on-site in just 1.5 weeks.The scheme involved complex site logistics due to limited access — with careful planning and close coordination with the project team, we successfully navigated these challenges to keep the build on schedule.

Collaborative Approach

From the outset, we worked closely with the architect to:

Fully review and advise on SIP detailing and thermal performance
Ensure all structural connections were accurately designed for Glulam integration
Maintain design intent while ensuring efficient on-site assembly
Plan lifting and delivery sequences for restricted access

This early collaboration allowed us to resolve technical challenges upfront, reducing delays and ensuring confidence in the programme.

Technical Highlights

SIP Walls: 172mm panels offering excellent thermal efficiency
Roof Structure: Loose joist system with Glulam beams providing structural strength and design flexibility
Internal Finish: Timber frame wall linings to integrate with existing internal finishes
Precision Delivery: Off-site manufacturing ensured panels arrived fully prepared for rapid installation
Access Management: Specialist equipment and sequencing allowed us to overcome tight site constraints safely

Delivered Benefits

✅ Minimal Disruption: Only 1.5 weeks on-site erection time, reducing disruption to school operations
✅ Energy Performance: High thermal performance for year-round comfort and reduced running costs
✅ Design Integrity: Structure delivered exactly to the architect’s design, with full technical coordination
✅ Programme Certainty: Careful planning ensured the project remained on schedule despite access limitations
