Home / Building Construction / March 2018 14

Building works continue apace, as does work on the installation of new exhibits - these broad-gauge relics really do look the part!
Excellent restoration is evident on these reclaimed GW doors, in readiness for their installation as our panel room external access doors.
As if the double doors weren't enough for the GWS volunteers, the simulator room's door is intalled, and just awaits some final fittings.
The result of very careful planning and design work, the new air conditioning units in the panel room are installed...
...which in turn are linked into the building management system to keep us all cosy (especially in March!).
With the air-conditioning units in, surrounding ceiling tiles start to be installed, having been cut to size accordingly.
Ever more ceiling tiles become fitted in place, with the 1980s panel room atmosphere truly starting to take shape.
Meanwhile, in the 'Bristol Room', Chris Chalet of the GWS Bristol Group continues the hard work of preparing the Bristol East Panel interactive exhibit - good stuff!
The Bristol Room's well-disguised air-conditioning unit is also installed.
A view from the entrance foyer into the 'Brunel Room', as newly-redundant scaffolding makes its way out of the building.
The panel room double doors' lintel is expertly fashioned.
New boards are fabricated and painted, ready for future displays.
More restored exhibits take their place in the Brunel Room.
The previously-seen display boards are fitted into their final positions, with the displays themselves well underway.
