We have a lot of experience of working on commercial and retail projects. Here\u2019s two examples of the work we have done.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Project: Liverpool One <\/strong>
\n Client: Laing O\u2019Rourke
\n Value: \u00a37m
\n Duration: 120 Weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The largest regeneration project in Europe at the time, Liverpool One involved the redevelopment of 42 acres of land in the heart of Liverpool. This \u00a3850m development included retail units, commercial offices, leisure facilities, apartments, public realm and major infrastructure works.<\/p>\n

Scope of works<\/strong><\/p>\n

PP O\u2019Connor delivered major enabling works including 350,000m3 bulk excavation \u2013 the largest bulk excavation off site in Europe at the time; remediation works and basement reinforcement. Major demolition works were also carried out to enable the new build award winning QParks car park.<\/p>\n

Special interest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Archaeological ruins of buildings destroyed during World War II were discovered, along with an 18th century dock. The PP O\u2019Connor team worked with the assigned archaeologist, the docks were successfully retained and are now a popular tourist attraction in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Project innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the robust Site Waste Management Plans developed early during the pre-construction stage and implemented throughout the works, PP O\u2019Connor was able to recycle 99% of materials, with a very high percentage of that used on the development and the remainder re-used nearby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>Project: The Press Building, York<\/strong>
\n Client: Tier Consult<\/strong>
\n Value: \u00a3275,000<\/strong>
\n Duration: 22 Weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The demolition of the Press Offices in Walmgate is the first phase of a \u00a335m regeneration project to develop new student and office accommodation.<\/p>\n

Scope of works<\/strong><\/p>\n

PP O\u2019Connor was initially engaged to carry out the safe deconstruction of the former Press Buildings which were bounded by the River Ouse, occupied offices and businesses and apartments.<\/p>\n

We were subsequently engaged to undertake drainage diversion works which included connecting into existing manhole chamber; new manholes and pipework installation plus connecting of existing properties to the new system.<\/p>\n

Key considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the historic importance of the City and the surrounding heritage buildings, a robust dust, noise and vibration monitoring regime was put in place.
\n As the River Ouse is in close proximity to the site, comprehensive environmental management plans were put in place to ensure the river wasn\u2019t polluted by the demolition works.<\/p>\n

Close liaison with the local community and stakeholders enabled the works to be completed with minimal disruption to the local area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
