Complex office refurbishment spanning Leeds City Station

Working with: Bruntwood, RBA, Bay Construct, GB Group  

Originally a 2 stage tender until the project was shelved. At this stage we won the project based upon our innovative approach to the refurbishment.

The project is entirely elevated above Leeds railway station and the main loop road bridge above Neville Street meaning that the use of scaffolding to remove and re-clad the envelope was not a viable solution. Our approach was to treat the scheme as an inner city new build and used a combination of low level scaffolds, debris netting and suspended cradles.

Bay Construct was asked to negotiate the project and we worked with their team to assist their learning. We also considered further adaptations of the original proposals, which became the preferred method.

Due to the project's location and prominence we held HSE and Network Rail presentations and obtained NR form approvals for over 30 elements of the permanent and temporary works.
