Wakefield city centre to get a make-over

Steelwork has been completed for the first phase of the Trinity Walk redevelopment, a £200M project which will transform Wakefield city centre.

Biillington Structures erected 290t of steel for the new Mar- ket Hall during a four week pro- gramme. Due to the complex nature of the design, the project team had to incorporate 65 sloping columns and hidden fixings.

As well as the Market Hall, the project also includes a large shopping mall, leisure facilities, residentialblocksanda957-space car park. Main contractor is Shepherd Construction and the entire project is due for completion by May 2010.
