Demolition of the existing multi-storey car park and construction of the new car park took place within Warrington Town Centre, surrounded by the strategic road network which could only be closed for short durations.
To successfully construct the car park within the site footprint we secured existing offices opposite the site for our project offices, eliminating the need for site offices within the site footprint. We allowed time in our programme to demolish the existing car park in its entirety.
We worked meticulously to develop a detailed, multi-phased construction methodology with our supply chain to successfully maintain site access and egress, craneage, plant, and materials supply throughout the works.
With so many interfaces within the detailed design – foundations, lifts, stairwells, structural steel, cladding, mechanical and electrical – it was clear that a coordinated approach was required. In addition to a dedicated Design Coordinator, we implemented a Common Data Environment specialist to improve the exchange of technical information.
