New Wembley Stadium, London

At almost four times the height of the original and covering twice the area, the new Wembley Stadium is the largest covered football stadium in the world.

Fitzpatrick supplied the joinery sub-contractor on this prestigious project, with 2,500 steel door frames and 600 internal and external performance metal doorsets for function rooms, player and officials areas, and the Royal Suite.

Satisfying strict security and fire criteria, the doorsets were delivered on time within an 18 month programme agreed with the main contractor. Fitzpatrick’s flexibility on door frame design was put into practice with the wide variety of configurations and sizes supplied.

St David’s 2, Cardiff

The St David’s 2 development will bring new stores, cafés, bars, restaurants and luxury apartments to the heart of Cardiff, as well as enhanced public areas and facilities, a new central library, and a modernisation of the existing St David’s Shopping Centre.

Fitzpatrick is supplying a package of 900 steel door frames and 300 security, fire rated and high rated acoustic external doorsets to Leaderflush Shapland for the development. This is part of a supply chain through the joinery sub-contractor.

Door frames are being designed to suit both the specifics of the openings and to meet the certification requirements of Leaderflush Shapland’s timber door leaves.

Welsh Assembly Building, Cardiff

A package of 40 special steel security, fire rated and access doorsets were supplied and installed for the joinery sub-contractor on the Welsh Assembly Building. Because of the building’s design and layout, Fitzpatrick designed the doors with specific features that allowed easy installation and movement in areas with limited access and headroom.

New Schools in Peterborough and Lewisham

Fitzpatrick supplied and installed 250 external security steel doorsets for three school building projects on the Voyager programme in Peterborough, and three in the London Borough of Lewisham. The projects involved a mix of new build and refurbishment works and all doorsets were supplied and installed to tight contract programmes, with the process involving a degree of ‘to-contract’ design work, over a 24 month contract period.

Westfield Retail Development, White City, London

The £1.6bn, 1.6 million sq ft Westfield Retail Development in Shepherd’s Bush is now the biggest shopping centre in London and the third largest in the UK.

Fitzpatrick supplied a package of 1,500 steel security and/ or fire rated internal back-of-house and external doorsets to the joinery sub-contractor for this project. The majority of the doorsets were provided to a short timeframe, accommodating several retail unit opening deadlines.

Flexiblity on doorframe design was critical, with all products supplied specific to individual opening dimensions and contract-specific fire rated doorsets. These were subject to independent third party fire testing to prove suitability and certification.

Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth

A major PFI redevelopment of the existing Queen Alexandra Hospital is currently being undertaken on behalf of the Portsmouth NHS Trust, with Fitzpatrick supplying over four thousand steel doorsets to all internal occupational areas of the new and refurbishment phases of the building.

All work is being sub-contracted by Fitzpatrick on a supply and installation basis, managed by Fitzpatrick’s site and head office based surveying, fitting and supervisory team.

A new frame configuration has been designed to suit specific structural arrangements; one hundred doorsets supplied and installed on the new Rehabilitation building; three hundred more for the new Pathology building; and around two thousand nine hundred have been completed so far for the new main hospital. A further one thousand similarly specified doorsets are being supplied and installed, through to 2010, on the refurbished Retained Estate part of the project.
