Commercial Projects

Recently, Shire were involved with the refurbishment of 3 toilet blocks at Bristol International Airport. Works were both landside and airside, including working during the night. The project involved the installation of new solid grade cubicles, wall panelling and Corian vanity units.

Associated sanitaryware was also installed along with watersaving sensor taps and urinal flushing controls. The project was completed over a short space of time, to a high standard resulting in a satisfied client, being able to re-open the toilets in time for a busy Easter period.

The panelling system utilised Trespa Virtuon as a core material, which provided a good hard wearing finish, but also had a featured light reflectance. Shire also had washroom shapes routered into the solid grade panels, which were then back-lit.

Bristol Airport

Shire were appointed by MB Construction to undertake the full refurbishment of the washroom's at Bristol Airport. This involved the three areas of work; Bar Zero 9, Baggage Reclaim (both Airside) and the Arrivals Hall. Part of the works involved the isolation of the existing services, then the full removal of the existing sanitaryware, panels and cubicles.

Shire appointed Formwise Washrooms to provide the panels, which were manufactured from Trespa Virtuon solid grade. Each washroom had full wall lining, with duct panels, fitted to the existing tiled walls. Shire undertook the installation of new Armitage Shanks sanitaryware, along with Dart Valley programmable sensor taps.

The project had a number of challenges, one of which were the constraints of working 'Airside', ensuring that all operatives were suitably trained and security cleared for such work to be undertaken. The project was also completed in a timely manner, prior to the Easter holiday busy period at the Airport.

One of the challenges of this project, was to achieve the specific setting out that the Architect required, to ensure that all cubicles and wash basins lined through with the tile grout lines.

The Sylan cubicles that were fitted, were a very high end, quality looking product – finished in real wood veneer. The look of the cubicles were to provide a fully flush fronted system, with clean lines, and low maintenance.
