Client

North Wales Police

PCE Ltd worked closely with Galliford Try to develop a PCE Hybrid design and build structural solution for the three storey offices and thirty two cell custody suite that forms the new headquarters for North Wales Police Eastern Command.

Over three hundred and forty non flooring precast concrete components help form the Hybrid structure together with approximately 5,000m² of hollowcore flooring together with structural steel/concrete composite Deltabeams, other structural steel sections and structural reinforced insitu concrete.

The relatively low number of people required for the onsite works, coupled with the fast build programme, helped to reduce the construction carbon footprint of the building that has also been designed to include many energy saving features.

Safety

Rapid on site erection to full height, prior to the rest of the structural frame being erected, ensured safe and easy site personel access to the different floor levels as the building was constructed.

Quality

PCE’s high quality management procedures provided a seamless finish for direct decoration – especially within the custody suite area.
 

Speed

PCE’s innovative HybriDfma approach resulted in a ten week programme reduction and associated cost savings, when compared to the original design and build concept.

Value

Using in house BIM design enabled accuracy of components, layouts and overall design to negate potential component “clashes” with following trades.
