Leeds Grand Theatre Project | We worked alongside Laing O Rourke on phase II of the Leeds Grand Theatre Assembly refurbishment project. This project presented several challenges and involved extensive site surveys, the production of connection calculations and detail drawings. Fabrication and delivery of the steel to the site was followed by the task of erecting extensive steelwork within a listed building in the busy city centre. 85 tonnes of steel was required on the project to add floor steelwork at 2nd and 3rd floor levels, strengthening of the existing timber roof structure, pedestrian bridges between the Assembly Rooms and Grand Theatre at ground, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and roof levels and a pedestrian bridge steelwork spanning Harrison Street to link the Assembly rooms and Grand Theatre with Opera North in Premier House. |

Ambika House Refurbishment | This ambitious project on a large residential building was undertaken alongside Blenheim House Construction. The brief entailed construction of a penthouse residence and new 8th floor together with structural alterations to the 5th and 6th floors to the rear west wing. The 96 tonnes of new steelwork were supplied and successfully erected using a mobile tower crane within a busy part of the capital and sensitively avoiding disruption to the existing residents of the building. |

Extension to Meadowhall Shopping Centre | Working alongside Laing O Rourke, Leonard Cooper featured strongly in the largest refurbishment in Meadowhall's history. We designed and detailed the project which incorporated steelwork for new shops, seating areas and feature atrium, lighting, new cooling systems, escalators and signage within our package. The 270 tonnes of steel had to dovetail into the existing structure of the main shopping mall to create a stunning public area and a number of new shop units. Working closely with the contractors - Laing O Rourke, the structure was erected to schedule and with minimal disruption to the centre's customers |
