INDIA BUILDINGS

The Crossway team provided a full external scaffold and two large lightwell areas to enable the refurbishment of India Buildings on Water Street, Liverpool.

It was to be one of the most challenging and diverse projects we have undertaken. Some of the challenges faced were:

A city centre location
Grade II listed building
Weakness in the structure

These were overcome and the entire team involved demonstrated initiative, hard work and dedication to deliver a first class service, which was rewarded when Crossway received an award for “Best Health and Safety Performance – 2018” from our client Styles and Wood part of the Extentia Group.

India Buildings was originally built between 1924 & 1932 by the shipping firm of Richard Durning Holt and Alfred Holt and Company. A shopping arcade runs through the centre of the building, with offices on all floors. HMRC will lease ten floors of the building to house a new Regional Centre. Around 3,500 HMRC staff moved into the building during 2019.

TESTIMONIAL

"This project was the first time we have worked with Crossway Scaffolding. As a Senior Project Manager, I recognised the challenges that this large complex project may pose, not least due to it’s a city centre location and World Heritage status.

However, due to the innovative ideas Crossway suggested for the design and weight of the scaffolding they used on the project all the challenges presented were successfully overcome.

Throughout the project Crossway have been keen to highlight their capabilities and have demonstrated commitment and flexibility and worked well with other parties on site.

In January 2019 Crossway were awarded Best Health and Safety Performance for 2018 by our organisation."
