Regatta Quay Remediation
Team AB is currently delivering ongoing cladding remediation and internal fire safety improvement works at Regatta Quay, a prominent residential development located on the Ipswich waterfront. The project forms part of a wider programme to enhance building safety, ensure full regulatory compliance, and improve long-term performance for residents and stakeholders.
Our scope includes external envelope works alongside critical internal fire safety upgrades, all carried out within an occupied residential environment.
Our Approach
Team AB has adopted a carefully managed, resident-focused approach to deliver these essential works safely and efficiently. Early planning and close collaboration with the client, consultants, and fire safety specialists have been central to developing a clear strategy that prioritises safety, communication, and minimal disruption.
As an experienced main contractor, we are managing all aspects of coordination, sequencing, and quality control, ensuring works are delivered in line with current fire safety guidance and regulatory requirements.
Key Challenges & Solutions
Working in an Occupied Building
Carrying out cladding and internal fire safety works in a live residential environment presents significant logistical and safety challenges. Team AB implemented strict site controls, phased work programmes, and clear resident communication plans to maintain safety and minimise disruption.
Fire Safety Compliance
The project requires detailed coordination of multiple fire safety measures, including compartmentation, fire stopping, and internal upgrades. Our team works closely with fire engineers and building control to ensure all works meet the latest standards and best-practice guidance.
Waterfront & Access Constraints
The waterfront location and existing building layout require careful management of access, scaffolding, and material deliveries. Detailed logistics planning ensures safe operations while maintaining programme efficiency.
Results
The works at Regatta Quay are progressing successfully, with key fire safety and cladding upgrades being delivered in a controlled, compliant, and resident-conscious manner. Upon completion, the development will benefit from enhanced life safety measures, improved building performance, and long-term reassurance for residents and stakeholders.
This ongoing project demonstrates Team AB’s expertise in delivering complex fire safety and remediation works within live residential environments, reinforcing our commitment to safety, quality, and regulatory excellence.
