Great progress is happening behind the scaffold on our Creaseys Department Store project, as the major rebuild at No. 13 High Street continues.

We’ve cast the new Level 0 concrete slab and drainage and the Level 1 concrete Comflor slab, and installed the western phase of steel frame, extending from Level 1 to the roof on Level 6, which is being fireproofed with intumescent paint.

Additionally, we’ve protected Creaseys Department Store with a heat shrink plastic wrap due to having removed a section of the scaffold roof canopy temporarily to enable the new steelwork to be craned into position. We’re also in the process of installing most of the eastern steel frame and have begun adding timber joists and the plywood deck to the floors on Levels 2 and 3.

Looking ahead, we will see the installation of the final elements of the eastern steelwork starting mid-August, including the main staircase and front façade. Timber joists will be added to Levels 4 & 5 and the roof, followed by the installation of escalators, followed by mechanical and electrical installation and finishes.
