Since then, plans have been brought forward for the Paradise Circus Redevelopment (‘PCR’), which will remove the current gyratory system at Paradise Circus, introducing radical changes to traffic movements and creating new roads and access/egress into the development site. The proposed Variation Order would authorise an alteration of the alignment of the Metro for which Centro has powers so as to integrate with the PCR as well as enable Centro to carry out a minor adjustment to the 2005 Order outside the PCR. It would also revive the powers of compulsory acquisition under the 2005 Order, which expired in 2010, and would authorise the acquisition of the small additional amount of land required to facilitate the change to the route.

  • Birmingham Town Hall
    By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen Manufacturer and Supplier of Secondary Glazing Selectaglaze Ltd. St Albans TM Secondary Glazing Birmingham Town Hall Benefit: Quieter 50 side hung casement, Selectaglaze produced a unit which, at 4.5m high, was substantially taller than any Type: Refurbishment previous construction. Listing: Grade I At the noisy heart of bustling Birmingham is the city’s Town Hall, an impressive example of Roman Revival civic architecture. Designed by Joseph Hansom (of “Hansom Cab” fame), this Grade I Listed landmark building is based on the Roman Temple of Castor and Pollux. With a refurbishment budget of £34m, the 1830s iconic masterpiece will once more become the performance centre of the city. However, the journey from faded glory to world class concert venue was hardly straightforward and took the combined expertise and ingenuity of main contractor, Wates Construction and Selectaglaze, the country’s leading secondary glazing specialist. The challenge was to prevent the sounds of the city from interfering with the most sensitive of arias while maintaining clean sight lines for the building’s original windows and Listed faÇade. The solution was a monumental story in the real sense of the word. Working with their tried and tested Series Selectaglaze Ltd, Alban Park, Hatfield Road, st. Albans, Herts AL4 0JJ @selectaglaze T: 01727 837271 E: [email protected] www.selectaglaze.co.uk By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen Manufacturer and Supplier of Secondary Glazing Selectaglaze Ltd. St Albans TM Secondary Glazing And at 1.8m wide, the complete casement weighed in at over 200kg. Having met this first challenge, the next was how to fit the largest casement ever made, 8m up from floor level to cill! Working closely with Wates Construction, an ingenious combination of rollers, vacuum lifting gear and purpose designed scaffolding was identified as being the most practical way of positioning the windows so that they could be presented to the specially reinforced openings.
