Southern Water – Conversion

Southern Water

Conversion of Falmer office wing to a temporary Training area

Client

Southern Water is the private utility company responsible for the public wastewater collection and treatment in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent, and for the public water supply and distribution in approximately half of this area.

Challenge

With short notice Southern Water planned to convert a wing of their Falmer office to an internal training area. A wing on the second floor of the building was cleared of all desks and PC’s etc to make room for the temporary training area. Following initial meetings and discussions we were given around two weeks to divide the area into four zones with a break out area.

Solution

Over fifty timber walls were made and a large laminated desk unit manufactured within a couple of weeks. One hot weekend this was all hand carried up two flights of stairs and set up in the Southern Water office. The walls were fixed together with the longest run being 18 metres. The wall were then wrapped in printed banner graphics and the desk covered in vinyl graphics.

Wooden floor flats with angled ramps were put in position for the printed vinyl floor to be applied. Therefore causing no damage to the carpet tiles underneath. Bespoke wall mounted fabric frames were manufactured together with vinyl graphics applied to walls.

Result

The four areas had distinct colour designs and carried messages and information to be used for the staff training:

Zone 1 – Customer. Included a 13 meter x 3 metre printed vinyl floor and a 7 metre x 1.5 metre 20 piece jigsaw printed double sided on 5mm PVC Foamex.

Zone 2 – Environment. Included vinyl wallpaper and a 7 metre laminated desk which was wrapped in vinyl graphics throughout. Sets of laminated cards were printed for staff to use on the desk as part of the course.

Zone 3 – Health & Safety. Included an 8 metre wide x 2.4m high printed Magnetic wall and vinyl wall graphics.

Zone 4 – Water. Included a 8.5m x 4m printed vinyl floor with snakes and ladders design and vinyl wall graphics.

“This was a unique project by reason of the very unusual shape and the damp conditions. It required a high degree of precision and care, and painstaking installation to get the desired results but we’re delighted with the overall effect.”
