Cross Lane, Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project involves the design and construction of a new 27-storey student accommodation tower providing 538 student beds with associated amenity and a roof garden.

The Hannan residential team are providing Building Services Engineering consultancy and BREEAM Assessment services. The project is targeting BREEAM ‘Very Good’.

Planning for the scheme has been granted.

The scheme is located close to Salford university and Salford Crescent train station, at the site of the former McDonalds regional headquarters.

We are very pleased to join Broadway Malyan, Quantem, Davies Maguire &  Layer Studio on Q Developments’ project design team.

Energy Reduction Design Features

To help minimise energy usage, the scheme will include vertical Waste Water Heat Recovery systems, which will take waste water from students showers, recover waste heat and pre heat incoming cold water supply feeding the showers.

The scheme utilises low GWP refrigerant modular air to water heat pumps to provide hot water between 60°C and 90°C which is then distributed throughout the building to outlets.

In order to minimise excessive pressures within the system and to reduce energy consumption associated with pumping water to the upper floors, the dedicated cold water and sprinkler booster distribution systems will be divided into two domestic cold water booster systems, upper and lower floor zones, which will include Variable Speed High-efficiency pump sets.

Similarly, the design of soil and waste drainage systems needed careful consideration due to the overall height of the building to avoid excess pressures building up within stacks. This is done through careful design and the use of secondary ventilation pipework and AAAVs.

Ralli Quays, Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hannan Associates are part of Legal & General Investment Management’s team for the design of the Ralli Quays office and hotel scheme on the River Irwell in Salford.

The client is targeting net zero carbon via a combination of the UKGBC 2030 targets and carbon offset for both construction and operation, including a high NABERS Star Energy Rating.

The building is also targeting BREEAM excellent and EPC A.

Our role on the project includes:

  • Sustainability Services
  • BREEAM 
  • MEP Design

Ralli Quays is one of only fourteen developments in the UK pioneering the Better Buildings Partnership Design for Performance initiative.  The key objective of the Pilot Programme was to provide a strong evidence base for proceeding to a fully-fledged DfP Scheme.

As part of our package we are utilising complex thermal modelling software to accurately simulate HVAC plant and control networks for each building in order to ascertain the predicted in use operational energy consumptions for a variety of on-axis and off-axis scenarios. This is vital in providing a building-integrated approach where the HVAC systems and building are assessed as a whole all gains/losses, heat transfer and thermal mass in the building to be accounted for alongside system performance.

This allows us to address the performance gap that has been created by the out of date methodology to design buildings for compliance, as we can accurately assess the results of simulations and check against the latest Energy Performance Targets based on the Australian NABERS approach.

We are very pleased to join EPR Architects, DPP One, Turner & Townsend, Walker Sime, Clancy Consulting, Colliers on the project design team.

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.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Completed in 2022, Novella is the latest phase of residential development at New Bailey Salford, led by The English Cities Fund – a strategic joint venture between urban regenerators, Legal & General and Homes England – in partnership with Salford City Council.

Novella includes a 23 storey tower providing 125 two-bedroom and 86 one-bedroom apartments for private sale, making it the tallest residential scheme at New Bailey to date. The residential development also features a gym, a co-working space and a communal lounge.

o Early-stage technical review and development of plant space options & requirements

o Utilities coordination & liaison to extend the existing infrastructure

o Building Regulations Part L Design Stage Compliance Assessments

o Limiting Overheating Analysis

o Ongoing site inspections & reporting during the construction period

We were Building Services Engineering consultants for the project working alongside Hawkins Brown Architects, Walker Sime, Buro Four, WSP, Arup, DPP One, HED Landscape Architects and main contractor Morgan Sindall Construction.

New Bailey is part of The English Cities Fund’s £650 million regeneration scheme transforming the area of Salford Central. The over 50-acre masterplan contains commercial, retail and residential buildings creating a new and vibrant destination for people to live, work and relax.
