- Structural steelwork
Project Description
Hambleton Steel successfully delivered the complete structural steel package for the landmark Les Nicolles School development in Guernsey.
The scheme comprised two interconnected schools within a single 240m-long structure: St Sampson’s Secondary School and Le Murier Special Needs School, each with distinct layouts and functions but sharing central facilities such as a swimming pool, sports hall, and assembly spaces.
Working to complex design requirements and tight island logistics, Hambleton managed the transport of all steelwork from the UK mainland, optimizing loads and sequencing to fit shipping constraints.
Challenges l Solutions
The erection was completed in three carefully phased stages, coordinated around limited local crane capacities and ongoing concrete works. Spanning up to 19m over the swimming pool and sports hall, the project demonstrated Hambleton’s expertise in precision steel erection, logistical planning, and collaborative problem-solving.

Skilled and supportive on managing the quite large number of changes on design during construction stage.
The team was consistently attentive, productive and always willing to go the extra mile to help wherever possible.
We were exceptionally impressed with the way Hambleton Steel incorporated with our design team to produce a suitable and robust design which reflects in the operational performance on site.
Earning industry experience and a qualification has been invaluable. Not every opportunity gives you on-the-job experience and I've found that this has really helped my development
One of the reasons I chose an apprenticeship was because I could earn and learn at the same time. Working at Hambleton Steel has provided me with day-to-day training and experience which has helped me understand the industry and business.
