Project: Crispin House, Major Structural Refurbishment
Client: Leeds City Centre
The project:
Constructed in 1914 and originally a clothing factory, Crispin House is now a Grade II listed building, a status achieved due to its age and unique features. Over the years the building had become significantly dilapidated and was in need of extensive works to maintain the structural integrity and enhance the overall appearance.
The solution:
APA Concrete Repairs Ltd were selected to undertake the structural refurbishment works which included heavy duty propping & jacking, controlled demolition, concrete repairs, steel work & fixing, floor reconstruction, repair & screeds, carbon fibre plate bonding, building & masonry repairs, cathodic protection and specialist waterproof coatings. Aspects of the project required great attention, such as the effects the external works would have on pedestrians in the busy City Centre environment. Through careful planning our goal was achieved successfully from concept to completion.
The outcome:
APA’s works have since enabled the next phase on Crispin House, conversion into a 4 star chic style city hotel.
