POW-ITT-64317 FLAT ROOF FOR MONNOW WARD, BRONLLYS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

Particular consideration should be given to safe access and edge protection, structural loading capacity, storage of materials at roof level, roof plant/services, drainage and falls, and maintaining the building weather-tight throughout the works.
