The Challenge
Located in the heart of Pontypridd town centre, the project presented several logistical and technical challenges.
Working within an existing commercial building required careful coordination of structural alterations, building services and specialist installations, while maintaining safe access and minimising disruption to neighbouring businesses and the public.
The programme also required close management of multiple trades and specialist subcontractors, with particular attention to the integration of security systems, communications infrastructure and the operational requirements of South Wales Police.
Maintaining quality, safety and programme certainty throughout the refurbishment was essential to achieving a successful handover.
Our Approach
Albion delivered a coordinated, multi-trade refurbishment programme, managing the project from initial strip-out and structural alterations through to final finishes, testing and commissioning.
The scope of works included:
-
Structural and internal alterations: Reconfiguration of the existing units, including structural modifications and the installation of new partitions to create the required accommodation.
-
Ceilings and flooring: Installation of suspended ceiling systems, commercial flooring and associated finishes throughout.
-
Mechanical and electrical services: New electrical installations, lighting, power distribution, heating, ventilation and associated building services.
-
Security and communications: Coordination and integration of specialist security, data and communications infrastructure.
-
Fire safety: Installation and coordination of fire protection measures, fire alarm systems and associated safety provisions.
-
Joinery and finishes: New internal doors, frames, ironmongery, skirting and comprehensive decoration throughout.
-
Welfare facilities: Installation of a new kitchen, sanitary accommodation and accessible WC facilities.
-
Testing and commissioning: Final inspections, testing, commissioning and preparation of handover documentation.
Our site management team coordinated the various work packages to ensure the finished facility met the required standards of quality, functionality and safety.
The Result
The completed refurbishment has transformed two existing commercial units into a modern, professional and purpose-designed operational facility for South Wales Police.
The finished accommodation provides a combination of practical working spaces, specialist infrastructure and high-quality internal finishes, creating an environment designed to support the day-to-day requirements of its users.
The project demonstrates Albion Workplace Solutions' ability to deliver comprehensive commercial refurbishments, combining building alterations, specialist installations and high-quality fit-out works within challenging existing premises.
