Further foldable containers were installed for use as commentary booths, media and editing suites, offices and other admin centres. The team also installed 2 temporary kitchen structures, both with vinyl flooring, in collaboration with West Country Marquees. The kitchens were 12x27m and 9x9m in size, both equipped with running water, waste supply and air conditioning. The team completed the whole installation of all the structures within just five days, using only forklifts and jibs.

MONOPOLY LIFESIZED

Promoting London’s Newest Tourist Attraction

Last weekend (7 -10 April), Cube Sight & Sound made its way to Leicester Square, London, as part of a new activation to promote Monopoly Lifesized, a brand-new challenge attraction in London.

Monopoly Lifesized, based in Tottenham Court Road, has been created to bring a new way to play the planet’s favourite board game. A physical 4D experience whereby competitors have 80 minutes to move around a giant board completing challenge rooms to buy properties, using state of the art technology.

Cube was contracted to provide a promotional unit for the attraction in London’s busy Leicester Square over the Easter weekend. Utilising one of our unique Sight & Sound units, consisting of a pop-up retail unit with a large 6m x 3m LED screen on top, the fully branded unit drew in the crowds, consisting mainly of young adults and families, to whom leaflets were given to promote the new attraction.

James Lauchlan, Cube’s Project Manager, said “Such an exciting activation to be a part of! Like most people, having played hundreds of games of Monopoly throughout my life and now getting involved with a Lifesized version of the game was brilliant. It was great having the unit in Leicester Square seeing the crowd being drawn in by the screen infrastructure and with a photobooth set up, all the fun of this classic game was incorporated via an interactive touch.”

OFFICE INSTALLATION

New Offices installed at RR warehouse, including bespoke spiral staircase

Rolls Royce collaborated with Cube for a second year in a row, in order to add an additional unit to a pre-existing unit to create a 2-storey office space at its warehouse in East Grinstead.

The bespoke unit, which was built with additional windows to give clear visibility to the workshop floor, was built in a very tight space. The new office, required to be built under a gantry, needed Cube’s planning expertise to make sure the installation would take place as smoothly as possible.

Once the team had completed the onsite build successfully, the unit was then skilfully moved into place with a forklift, navigating various obstacles across the workshop floor.

Once the unit was in place, heating and cooling systems were then installed to both office units. The team also installed a bespoke spiral staircase to access each of the offices.

LITTLE RIPLEY CHILDREN'S DAY NURSERY

Temporary Modular Nursery Classrooms

Little Ripley Children's Day Nusery - Cube Modular
  • ECI, Principal Designer and Principal Contractor, collaborative with nursery staff
  • Minor works contract with contractor design
  • Turnkey solution within Education sector
  • M&E integration
  • Delivery within school environment, out of hours to safeguard children

Cube Modular installed two temporary classrooms configured using its standard award-winning Continest CN20 (6m x 2.4m) foldable units jointed together to create buildings of the required size.

Initial site survey revealed a relatively steep sloping site. To overcome the challenging terrain Cube liaised closely with the nursery’s existing building contractor to propose a safe solution. Cube provided a detailed site plan, drawings and specification to enable the builder to construct blockwork levelling pads prior to installation.

Installation took place outside nursery opening hours to safeguard children, parents and staff. De-rig took place during opening hours but avoiding key drop off and collection times, site safety managed via RAMS and Cube’s CHAS / CDM compliant standard operating procedures.

All 5 units were transported on one truck due to their foldable nature, taking 4 trucks off the road during delivery and collection and reducing the carbon footprint associated with the installation.

Little Ripley rented the units for five months initially and then extended for a further six months. During this time, Cube provided on-call maintenance services.

Twelve months ago, at Little Ripley we had to complete major building works on our Children’s Day Nursery. Cube Modular came to our rescue. They installed two large modular classrooms on our carpark which has comfortably and safely housed our children throughout that time. The product, service and communication by Cube Modular has been outstanding. We look forward to working with them again on future projects.
