The Emergency

Sherburn High School, with over 750 pupils, just outside Leeds, suffered a disaster on 3rd July 2018 when its sports hall was the target of an arson attack and burnt to the ground.

Sherburn High School Emergency Solution

Complications

These included new gas pipes, a new access road to new location, and protected tress; all of which affected the location and construction of the building.

A 5-day solution

The new facility, which was installed over a few days during the school’s summer holiday period, consists of a huge hall where several sports take place daily - including an indoor high jump, table tennis, gymnastics, and PE lessons. There is a large teacher’s office and two cavernous changing rooms that feed off the main entrance hall.

We provided:

  • Temporary school gym
  • Size 15m x 32.5m
  • Build in just 5 days - from delivery to fully use
  • 40mm micro-rib panel
  • Air inflated roof Heavy duty floor with 12mm plywood cover (flooring and markings by specialist supplier) all with no need for concrete base
  • We worked with multiple partners and positioned building to use protected trees as an attractive canopy

Warehouse

Warehouse Fires

According to government statistics, supported by industry bodies, there are some 2,500 warehouse fires each year in the UK, and unless there is a contingency in place, it can reap havoc on your business.

I know it's not a nice subject, but it is important to remember, if you happen to become one of the unfortunate 2,500, this is a contingency which will enable you to continue trading almost uninterrupted so it's well worth bearing us in mind.

Even if it means us leaving other installations to keep your business moving, I have found people to be very understanding of others plights in situations like this.

Storage

Weather Events

We often associate disaster recovery with fire but floods, wind damage and even lightning can wreak havoc with your premises.

We’ve also had instances in the past when a building has been condemned after a storm or freak of nature, thus rendering it off limits for the owners to continue using it.

Our instant buildings are the answer to this because they can be delivered to site and installed in as little as 7 – 21 days from order.

RAAC - temporary classroom

RAAC

If you're facing the challenges of RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) in your building, Smart-Space offers fast, temporary building solutions to help you manage the disruption.

Our flexible, quick-install buildings are ideal for schools, hospitals, and other public spaces needing immediate repairs or replacements due to RAAC-related closures.

We provide safe, reliable, and customisable space solutions to ensure minimal disruption while long-term solutions are implemented.

Temporary buildng

But In General

Anyone at any time can face an urgent need for a temporary building. Whether this be an unforeseen demand for your product or services. A health emergency such as Covid-19. Additional space to keep trading safely in such times. But importantly whatever your urgent need or emergency., we are here to help.

Buildings for Insurance

Finally, Insurance

There is something else worth considering too: You see, when it comes to writing up your contingency plans, with rising insurance costs, it's probably well worth knowing the potential time frames and costs to have one of our buildings installed, so you can have it written into your actual plan for insurance purposes.

In fact, it may even reduce your insurance premiums too.
