Overview
As part of the £650 million regeneration scheme around the River Irwell, the New Bailey development was started which included One New Bailey which is home to a leading international law firm, Two New Bailey which is an office and retail space we did the external and landscaping works on and then Three New Bailey was commissioned.
This stage of the development was to construct a new 157,000 square ft office building for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for their Greater Manchester hub as part of a 25 year lease which would create thousands of jobs in the region.
Three New Bailey stands out with its distinct red brick weave façade as a nod to the 19th century warehouse architecture which was prevalent in the area.
What did we do?
This project firstly involved us carrying out a site strip which meant we removed all tarmac and cobbles from the site which left a layer of ash to be stored on site until a later date. During this process, we discovered asbestos so a specialist company came in and removed it.
Once an archaeologist team swept the site for archaeological remains and did a heritage survey, we knocked down the existing walls before we did a bulk excavation.
Finally, we formed a pilling matt and used the ash we had previously retained first.
