BBC Studioworks have returned to three studios at the historic Television Centre. The studio floors were over 20 years old and required refurbishing. The floor in Studio TC1 had been used for the storage of construction equipment and materials and required a refurbishment to return it to its former glory.
The studio floor was sound and suitable for overlaying with our operating surface of 4mm. Vacuum contained diamond grinding was used to clean and etch the surface.
We were employed directly by the BBC.
We have had and association with Television Centre for over 50 years and are proud to have been given the opportunity to continue this in 2017 as the BBC return to the site.
The installation was completed ahead of schedule by our small team of full time employees.
Fire Lanes were installed along with a grid with numeric references to ease the construction of sets.
