Council offices under way in North Wales

Structural steelwork erection is under way on the prestigious new headquarters building for Conwy County Council.

Located in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, the project is being led by main contractor Bowmer & Kirkland.

The scheme comprises of a new steel-framed four-storey office building and an adjacent 354-space multi-storey car park.

The 9,200m² office block is aiming to achieve a BREEAM “Excellent’ rating and will replace up to 13 existing offices in and around Colwyn Bay.

Steelwork contractor EvadX is using cellular beams throughout the scheme. For the three-level car park, the beams are supporting precast planks, while in the offices they work compositely with metal decking.

Work on the project began in November 2016 with a site clearance and demolition programme of existing buildings. Completion is set for October 2018.
