Versatility Of Precast Concrete Construction For Sport City Project

摘要

Countryside Properties specified Bison's crosswall, stairs, landing units and hollowcore precast concrete products for an innovative ￡20 million project, comprising two circular-shaped buildings at Sport City, Manchester. The company was able to offer design and production flexibility when confronted with a complex space planning challenge.rnThe project, located in the new east regeneration area of Manchester, has seen the development of ten- and seven-storey structures, housing a total of 115 one- and two-bed apartments in a location adjacent to major highway routes, the Ashton Canal and the City of Manchester Stadium. This high-profile area of the site, developed as part of the 2004 Commonwealth Games, had to include a 'landmark building', which was identified as such from the earliest design phase of masterplanning.
