Barnsley College Construction students were invited by Pacy
& Wheatley Construction to visit their site in Cudworth and tour their
current build project.
Pacy & Wheatley are a highly respected construction
company for the Healthcare, Education & Commercial arenas, they are based
in Doncaster and have been established since 1968.
Students were inducted to the site before being presented
with information about the company, the team and the actual project before going
on a tour of the whole site.
The students were shown around by the Construction Manager -
Joe Ridgeway and the Site Manager Keith Gill.
It was very informative and the whole project was explained from the
beginning with the different processes involved in the extension and refurbishment
of the existing building. The staff and students were asking questions during
the tour and it gave them a great insight of the project and the tasks
involved.
The students are currently working on a project unit as part
of their programme so the site visit gave them all a better understanding of
the tasks and sequences involved in a project like this and also to find out
about problems that may occur on site and how these can be resolved to meet the
client’s and the builder’s requirements.
The project also relates to the conversion unit the students
cover so the refurbishment was ideal for them to see and learn more about.
