Snoozebox to Provide Accommodation for the Queen’s Jubilee

Elements Europe is in the midst of manufacturing Snoozebox modules at Windsor Park in time for the jubilee celebrations.

 

The Snoozebox modules will form a fully portable hotel, providing accommodation for 600 performers for an equine extravaganza at Windsor Castle.

 

“The World Comes To Windsor” equestrian pageant on the evenings of 10th-13th May 2012 (www.diamond-jubilee-pageant.com) will be the first major event to celebrate the Queen?s Diamond Jubilee and will bring together more than 500 horses from around the world. Among the 800 performers from 16 foreign countries will be Inuits from Canada, cowboys from Oklahoma, presidential bodyguards from India, Cossacks from Russia and Huasos from Chile.

 

Project Director, James Foster comments “ We are very excited at Elements Europe to be providing accommodation for the Queen’s Jubilee. Snoozebox is a unique concept and we are pleased to have signed a 5 year global manufacturing contract with them”

 

Simon Brooks-Ward, the director and producer of the pageant, says “Snoozebox was the perfect accommodation solution for this important International event, enabling us to house 600 people, inside the grounds of WindsorCastle, in luxury en-suite rooms. From a transportation and security angle, it was also a huge benefit not to have to move this number of people in and out of the venue every day”.

 

Roompod Solution for Stylish Student Accommodation

Elements Europe has provided stylish student accommodation in collaboration with main contractor Multibuild, for a new-build at Bishopsgate in the heart of Birmingham.

The West Midlands based modular construction company has manufactured and supplied a total of 175 modules, consisting of 147 bedroom modules and associated cleaning rooms, plant rooms, stair cores, floor, ceiling and corridor cassettes- for the project.

Elements Europe also sourced and managed the procurement of a modular pre-cast concrete lift shaft for the 5-storey scheme.

All of the bedrooms have been designed in a contemporary way, offering high quality student accommodation with en-suite bathrooms, kitchenettes with breakfast bars and sensor-controlled ventilation systems to improve the building’s energy efficiency.

The rooms were manufactured over a factory period of seven weeks and on-site installation took just 8 weeks.

Elements Europe’s Kevin Arthur comments: “Modular construction offers many key advantages including a quicker build programme and improved quality of finish as the rooms are constructed in a quality controlled manufacturing environment. We take pride in working to international quality standards and in ways that limit our environmental impact and energy use.”
