The prestigious Royal Russell School (pictured below) is a satisfied and loyal customer of Amadeus Performance Equipment Ltd. Set on the grounds of a beautiful site in Surrey, the school has recently expanded in size and built a brand new building which will be used for the study of many different subjects including music and the creative arts.
As a result of this, the school had a responsibility to offer students a safe and secure place to store their musical instruments while at school. Offering such storage not only prolongs the life of the musical instruments, but also keeps the schools insurance premium down as instruments are less likely to be damaged, stolen or lost. Such storage also offers great reassurance to the parents of the musical students, as they are of course more often than not the ones who put their hands in their pockets and purchase the instruments!
Amadeus offer a versatile range of instrument storage solutions, and are able to cater for virtually all needs, requirements and budgets. We worked closely with Royal Russell school to provide a solution that suited them. We considered the vast amount of instruments they wished to store, their strict budget, and the aesthetic qualities they required from the storage. We conducted a detailed site survey to identify and utilise the restricted available space within the school which could be used to store the instruments.
It was eventually decided that the school wanted us to provide them with a combination of movable storage racks and bespoke instrument storage locker units. We designed all the locker units to adhere to the schools brief, and provide drawings and plans at every stage of the design process. All the racks and the locker units are then hand built by our team of highly skilled British joiners and craftsmen. Delivery and installation.
We believe that it is our duty to see a project through to its final stages. There is nothing worse than entrusting your time and money with a company who seem to be your best friend throughout the initial stages of a sale, but then dump the goods on your doorstep and leave you on your own. Our philosophy is to be there for you at every stage – after all, if we can offer you a fantastic service then you are more likely to want to come back to us in the future. As a result of this we delivered and fully installed the racks and units to the school with pride and pleasure.
Take a look at the photographs below which document the delivery and installation process. You will see how we deal with unforeseen challenges, overcome unpredictable hurdles, and also the pride with which we carry out such work.
All units and racks transported carefully, safely and securely to the school:
We had to carefully maneuver the units up two flights of stairs to install them where the school desired:
The units are placed according to the initial plans, utilising corridor space:
When we design the units, we have to preempt the installation and all 'access' logistics. As you can see from the photo below, the biggest of all the bespoke units was specifically designed to be as large as possible without being too big to fit through the door!
The position of this unit within the school was changed from the ground floor to the first floor at the last minute, this meant we had to take it up two flights of stairs by hand. Had we been aware of this before delivery, we would of course have brought the unit in flat packed and assembled it on sight - but as previously mentioned, we are here to provide the very best service we can, and therefore we are more than happy to change details such as this to make the client happy. This rack however, was far too heavy to carry up stairs by hand, therefore we removed all the doors to reduce the overall weight:
All of the doors now removed, the unit is light enough to carry:
Two flights of stairs and five men later, the unit was in place:
Once all the racks and lockers were in place, we made very minor adjustments to the heights and levels of the units to make sure they were flush to one another, and look straight, neat and tidy aggainst the wall. This sort of attention to detail is very important to us:
