This three year project saw the Applebridge team complete extensive construction works below ground within the challenging constraints of a building with conservation status.

Their challenge:

The project involved many unique challenges, including: working in close proximity to two lines of the East Coast mainline; working within a tight city centre space; propping of an existing 19th century underground warehouse below the site; working within buildings with conservation status and working under an NEC form of contract.

Our solution:

The three year, £6m below ground and concrete works for this complicated city centre scheme comprised:

• Reinforced concrete slab, frame and roof
• Construction below-ground within existing 19th century warehouse
• Reinforced concrete building
• New reinforced concrete slabs throughout
• New drainage
• Extensive temporary works
• Piling within existing 19th century warehouse
• Observing the conservation status of the building

The results:

This £6m project commenced in October 2011 and was completed in June 2014.
