Shepherd Construction's Steelwork Programme Is Underway

The steelwork programme at Shepherd Construction's £22m project, to construct a new 2-storey Secondary School, on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council and the Diocese of St Albans, is underway.

Over a four-month period, approximately 335 tonnes of steel will be lifted into place to form the two-storey structure of the new building.

St Mary's Church of England School in Cheshunt is to be the first completely new Secondary School to be built in Hertfordshire for over 30 years and will have state-of-the-art facilities for 1,100 pupils, including technology suites and a sports complex. The project will see the school relocate from its existing site to a new site at Bury Green Farm.

One of the key challenges of the project has been to over come the geographical surroundings. The project is located in close proximity to the New River and next to protected woodland.

Work is scheduled for completion in January 2010.
