Buttermarket Shopping Centre
Client: Coleman & Co.
Location: Ipswich
Cost: £100,000.00
Length: 4 Weeks
Specialist Demolition contractor Coleman & Co required a specialist contractor to undertake the controlled removal of overhead glazing and associated steelwork as part of the deconstruction of the bespoke glazed facade over the St. Stephens Lane Entranceway to the Buttermarket Shopping Centre in Ipswich, Suffolk.
The necessary facade removal was part of a larger scheme to redevelop the shopping centre with ongoing transformation works to introduce a new food court and cinema.
Tasked by our client to complete this precise demolition to a tight deadline, our team worked through the night during the four-week project to minimise disruption to the general public and allow internal construction works to take place during the day.
Onsite our demolition division utilised a range of specialist access cranes to assist with the removal of the large glazed panels and steel framework. Alongside this, our IRATA Rope Access Technicians allowed us to negate difficult access requirements presented by the unique design of the existing structure.
This multiphase works commenced with the removal of the existing vertical curtain walling and the final phase was the controlled removal of the central ring. The successful deconstruction has now revealed the new look food court and leisure complex which is due to open Summer 2016.
