New Cycle Store & Associated Shower Block

Client Requirements

Zenith was employed by Nationwide Building Society to construct an 88-cycle capacity store with associated shower block. The project involved working to a developing brief with significant amendments to the scope of works during the contract period.

Overview of Works

Initially, the job saw the team removing all existing landscaping, including large trees and grass, and adjusting ground levels to accommodate new footpaths and a cycleway. They were also required to install new foul and storm drainage into the current systems, and new water and power supplies.

The works included the formation of building foundations and construction of a steel frame with polycarbonate roof and glazed wall panels to house the cycle store, along with the installation of power, heating and lighting.

The construction of the new shower block required Zenith’s team to install an air source heat pump and underfloor heating. They also installed showers and cubicles, along with a toilet facility, and resin flooring throughout, including the shower drains. PVC washable wall panels were also fitted, as well as benches hand dryers and hairdryers.

Finally, the team carried out landscaping around the new cycle store and shower block, to accommodate the new footpaths and cycleway.
