Sir William Henry Bragg Building

Speed

Over 1,750 off-site manufactured structural components assembled in just 32 weeks within a confined city centre university campus creating this complex 15,700m² Biomedical Research facility.

Quality

PCE’s systemised engineering approach, catalogue of standard structural components and connections enabled the highest levels of quality, structural performance, and predictability to be achieved.

Safety

With a construction team of just 20 operatives, over 28,000-man hours delivered accident free.

Value

This complex concrete frame and basement liner wall delivered on time, on budget and provides high levels of vibration resistance within the suspended floors resulting in the target VC-A performance requirement being exceeded.
