INTRODUCTION

The single storey section of the building knows as the Levens Building was the original building
constructed in 1994. The three storey section was added in 2002.

The single storey section is to be demolished to allow the construction of a new three storey
teaching block. The works to include the removal of the ground floor slab and foundations.

CONSTRUCTION

The single storey section is of traditional build with loadbearing masonry supporting a timber
trussed rafter pitched roof. The concrete ground floor slab is 175mm thick and mesh reinforced. It
would appear to be ground bearing. Although not established it is considered that the building has
traditional foundations bearing onto a medium clay at approximately 1.5 / 2.0 metres below existing
ground level.

The overall stability of the building is provided by the pattern of masonry crosswalls.

DEMOLITION

The demolition of this single storey building would not be considered to be particularly unusual.
There is no evidence of unusual construction procedures or components.

Care should be taken to progress in a manner that walls continue to provide mutual restraint.

The ground floor slab should be removed and the foundation grubbed up. All existing drainage to
be left in lace as it serves the remaining existing three storey block. The drainage will be changed /
adapted during the main contract works.
