As part of a multi-million pound refurbishment project of the Meads shopping centre in Farnborough to include new restaurants and a multi-screen cinema, specialist contractor Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd were appointed by Dawnus Construction Ltd to undertake the refurbishment of the shopping centre’s multi-storey car park ensuring the car park remained operational throughout the duration of the contract.
