TECHNAL TO SUPPLY WINDOWS AND CURTAIN WALLING FOR TALLEST RESIDENTIAL SCHEME IN THE NORTH WEST

The £1.5m glazing contract for the tallest new residential building in the North West has been awarded to glazing subcontractor, Airedale Glass and Glazing, in partnership with architectural aluminium systems specialist, Technal.

The £55m flagship Beetham Tower development on the site of the former St Paul’s Eye Hospital, is the largest building project currently underway in Liverpool and is set to transform the city centre.  The scheme includes a health club and spa, and a luxury penthouse apartment on the top two floors, which will be sold for in excess of £1m – a new record for the Liverpool residential market.

Designed by Aedas AHR, developed by the Beetham Organization and built by Carillion, the 30 storey tower will provide 126 apartments and 9 exclusive penthouses and will be linked to a new 200-bedroom Radisson SAS hotel – the first 5 star hotel to open in Liverpool.

Airedale will fabricate 1,800 sqm of Technal’s MC facetted curtain walling and 330 FXi46 casement windows for the project.  The windows are being inserted into pre-cast concrete panels off-site and craned into position to significantly reduce the programme time.
