Churchill Museum
Cabinet War Rooms, London
2005, £3.2 million
Fraser Randall was appointed as the Construction
Manager and Planning Supervisor by the Imperial War Museum to oversee
the planning and construction of this prestigious new museum build
project situated in the Grade 1 Listed Cabinet War Rooms, London.
This very high quality exhibition includes highly detailed bespoke joinery elements
with a wide array of diverse materials being used, including specialist
glazing and concrete finishes. The exhibition also incorporates
sophisticated audio visual features coupling software and hardware
together, all aspects of which were construction managed by Fraser
Randall. This includes a continuous 18m long interactive horizontal
projection surface that necessitated the programme management of
both evaluation and soak testing to ensure that the highly condensed
site installation could be achieved.
Site construction and assembly processes needed
to be thoroughly considered during the pre construction phase of
the project to contend with extremely limited access, the ongoing
operations of the adjacent museum, and the difficult working environment.
