Renovation of King Edward Mine Boiler House, Mill & Stamps and Core Buildings

About

Cornwall Council awarded a contract to Enelco Ltd for renovation and alteration works at the King Edward Mine, a Grade II* listed site within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site.

The project involves conservation of the Boiler House into an exhibition space, including a new wet-laid scantle slate roof, window and gable louvre replacement, floor consolidation, glazed inner screen with manual opening double entrance doors, under-floor heating, internal finishes, fixtures and fittings, services, and external works such as drainage and utility connections.

The contract was procured via a traditional lump sum JCT building contract with Bills of Quantities and a fully developed design, potentially including contractor design for specialist items.

Works were carried out on a live site with business occupation and seasonal museum opening.

The contract value was £509,824.27.
