Wirral Regeneration

PROJECT OVERVIEW

An innovative and ambitious masterplan for Birkenhead town centre being delivered by Wirral Growth Company – a joint venture between Muse and Wirral Council.

Our role on the project has included providing Infrastructure, MEP and BREEAM consultancy.

The first phase of work included the development of new public realm and two new grade A offices, totalling 150,000 sq ft, which handed over in October 2023.

During this phase, the project included the demolition of 27 retail units, for which we organised multiple complex infrastructure diversions of HV, LV, BT, Virgin, Drainage, Gas and Water services. We established the locations of existing services via searches, sub scan surveys and trial pits and engaged a specialist sub-contractor and the infrastructure companies to carry out disconnections and diversions.

The next phase of work in Birkenhead includes the construction of a new market hall, which will be home to independent retail, food and beverage stalls and accessible public realm.

This phase also includes the demolition of the House of Frazer department store and Hannan’s role has included organizing the survey and location of all existing services and the disconnection of the existing substation, gas, water and communications.

The design team includes AHR Architects, Curtin’s, Abacus, Gillespie’s and Vectos.

Four New Bailey, Salford Central

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Four New Bailey will be a 10-storey Grade A Office building providing 175,000 sqft office space and will be the new regional hub for telecommunications giant British Telecom (BT), who have signed a 20-year lease on the entire building.

The building currently under construction by Bowmer & Kirkland, features a distinctive metal diagrid lattice structure, which references the industrial and Victorian engineering heritage of the area, inclusive of the numerous bridges locally which span the River Irwell.

We have been appointed as MEP design consultants on the project and we are pleased to be working alongside Make Architects, Cundall, Chroma Consulting, Reform Landscape Architects and main contractor B&K.

The building has been designed in line with BCO guidance and is set to achieve both a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and Wired Score ‘Platinum’ rating. Key to the project’s sustainability ambitions was an all-electric energy strategy.

As part of our appointment, we have undertaken BREEAM duties and developed the Part L model, inclusive of undertaking passive design analysis. We have worked in conjunction with the design team and tenant to ensure maximum flexibility for MEP services installations on the open plan office floor, while making sufficient provision within dedicated plant and distribution zones for tenant installed plant as part of the fit-out works.

The New Bailey development sits on the River Irwell in Salford and forms part of the English Cities Fund’s £1bn regeneration of Salford Central.

The English Cities Fund is a joint venture between Muse, Legal & General and Homes England.
