EHA Derrys, Plymouth

currently working in close coordination with EHA Developments to supply and install nearly 1000 tons of refurbishment and structural steelwork.

The brief of this redevelopment project is essentially to turn a derelict 1950’s / 1960’s department store, into a vibrant 22,000 M² mixture of Student accomodation, Premier Inn, commercial and retail space.

The work is a mixture of multi-storey new steel installed on top of and adjacent to existing with large scale refurbishment steelwork installed to create a series of courtyards to utilise natural light.

Alongside the usual logistical challenges presented by such a large city centre development, some of the steelwork highlights include:-

a 35 metre long, nearly 2 storey high truss to be installed over an existing live retail unit

seamlessly adding and integrating 4 new storeys of steelwork to an existing 5 storey structure
