Orford Ness NAAFI Building restoration of the birth place of RADAR – phase 1 and 2
Full project management from inception to completion refurbishing and restoring the NAAFI Building at Orford Ness the birthplace of RADAR as seen on Look East BBC1 television.
The building was in a state of disrepair with multiple serious defects that jeopardised the structure. The principal task was to refurbishment and repair the roof structure and covering limiting further water ingress and damage. Structural repairs were undertaken to the structure and later during phase 2 a full rewire and decoration programme.
Orford Ness is a fascinating place accessible by boat. It is a place that tells the story of our recent past including the development of RADAR and the contribution Orford Ness made to the second world war.
