The refurbishment of the public lavatories at The Boathouse Cafe. The primary objective is to change the access to the public lavatories from an external doorway (into the building) to an internal doorway located within the cafe area. The project involves the refurbishment of the public lavatories at The Boathouse Café. The proposed refurbishment work includes reconfiguration of the facility and creating access between the WC and adjoining Café to enable controlled access and use. Works will entail strictly stripping out the existing lavatories and installing a new layout to accommodate the change of access. The works also comprise the strip-out, alteration, and installation of electrical services associated with the refurbishment of public toilet facilities, including: • Removal of redundant distribution board and services • Installation of a new Schneider Acti9 Isobar 18-way SP&N Type A distribution board (DB:B) • Provision of new final circuits for o Lighting o Small power o Water heaters o Trace heating o Extract ventilation o Alarms o Other associated equipment, • Reinstatement of existing retained circuits. • Installation of new containment systems within the roof void. • Replacement of lighting and emergency lighting systems. • Modifications to fire alarm and accessible WC alarm systems. Mechanical works include the strip-out of existing mechanical services and the installation of new heating, ventilation and water services serving refurbished Ladies, Gents and Accessible WCs. This will allow the continued use of the WC facility, whilst bringing it to current standards, improving utilisation, security and operational management.
