- The Rebuild
From
October 2011, a few weeks after the fire, a huge clean up
operation took place in the severely damaged Nurse's
Changing Rooms and also at the Bridge FM studios.
Following
the clean up, the priority was given to rebuild the Changing
Rooms, then on to the Studio complex. Much work
had to
take place, including new wiring, fire alarm systems, new
roofing and tiles, then the carpets and decorating.
By the
beginning of August, our Engineering team were allowed
access to the studios to begin the equipment installation.
Firstly,
we put out a contract tender for the joinery work that was
needed in rebuilding the studio desks and library shelving.
Steve Garrigan Joinery won the contract to supply
and build what was needed and worked very hard to complete
the work
within 3
days. This gave our Engineering Team and Library Team
a chance to get in and start the installations of the studio
equipment
and music library.
Our
studio and library equipment was driven in from storage in
Reading and Kilmarnock the next day, so the timing was
perfect.
Over the
following weeks our team spent many hours of hard work
getting the Music Library in order and building Studio 1.
By the
start of September, the studio was almost complete (apart
from the computer systems) and were ready for our
Presenters to begin refresher training prior to going back
live on air.
One year
on, we are very very close to resuming full live programming
once again.
