STRUCTURAL SOLUTION HELPS CUT COSTS
FOR MAJOR REFURBISHMENT PROJECT
A comprehensive survey and design exercise
by a leading structural engineering practice
has helped reduce costs and transform a
disused mill into luxurious new residential
accommodation. Greater Manchester-based
Rhodes & Partners undertook the work on
the Grade II listed building, and devised a
solution which helped minimise the need for
costly temporary work by utilising as much
of the original structure as possible. works appeared to be needed for the
restoration. However, Rhodes & Partners
were able to design a detailed system of
cross-bracing which stabilised the building
and enabled the refurbishment to proceed
without the need for temporary works. This
also allowed as much as possible of the
original structure to be repaired rather than
replaced, and proved to be a very cost-
effective solution.
With much of the building derelict, and
one area suffering from a high degree of
deflection, a significant amount of temporary A river runs directly under the mill in a series
of channels, some of which had failed,
and the potential for flooding was a major
consideration. The Rhodes & Partners
solution allowed the channels to be reused
and ensure a flow capacity that is more
than adequate, even in flood conditions.
This allowed the river to remain undisturbed
beneath the building.
The completed development now offers a
selection of luxury apartments.
