Following a feasibility study, structural steelwork was chosen as the most cost-effective solution for a residential tower in Liverpool. The 16-storey tower will accommodate 90 apartments, alongside a spa and sauna, gym and a high-level terrace.

In Leeds, two parts of a new residential scheme, being constructed on both banks of the River Aire, have been connected following the installation of a 57m-long Warren Truss pedestrian bridge.
