Editor Nick Barrett warns that today’s prices might look cheap before long; but welcomes news that steel still provides the most cost-effective framing solution. News Plans have been put forward for a 73-storey steel-framed tower that would be the City of 6 London’s tallest structure. Retail The centre of Bracknell is getting a thorough makeover with the construction of a £250M retail 10 scheme. Commercial As part of a major renovation of a 1970s concrete office block in Reading, four new steel 12 floors have been added. Commercial A blast resistant office block is being constructed at the petrochemical works in 16 Grangemouth. 18 Education Steel is the framing solution for a seven school building programme in the Home Counties. Commercial A steel-framed office pod has been erected inside a Victorian swimming baths. 24 26 Technical SCI’s David Brown presents part 2 of lateral torsional buckling in the Eurocodes. 30 Codes and Standards 31 Advisory Desk AD 396 – Tying resistance of flexible end plates in one-sided connections. 50 Years Ago Our look back through the pages of Building with Steel features a special steel dock for 31 an aircraft tail. 32 BCSA Members Register of Qualified Steelwork Contractors for Bridgeworks These and other steelwork articles 34 can be downloaded from the New Steel Construction Website at www.newsteelconstruction.com NSC March 16 3 Comment Steel stays the competitive choice Tender prices fell to unsustainable levels during the post credit crisis and recession years, placing the entire supply chain under pressure. Demand has recovered from those lows, though it hasn’t reached the previous peak for structural steelwork, and there is still spare capacity in our sector. There have recently been reports about some developers in London putting projects on the backburner because of rising tender prices and several are said to be revisiting their costings. This might easily backfire as the next move in tender prices could easily be upwards. Against a background of rising material costs, wage Nick Barrett - Editor inflation and strong demand in other parts of the market, today’s tender prices could look cheap in a year or so, especially if a rebound in oil prices forces the cost of materials up. One thing the construction supply chain would agree on is that margins have been too tight in recent years so if developers are looking for price cuts the message is don’t look for it in our margins. For developers who decide to push on against whatever short-term headwinds there might be, there is at least some good news from the latest cost research by Gardiner & Theobald. The latest Steel Insight series article that appeared in Building magazine on 26 February shows that steel is maintaining the competitive edge that has brought it dominance in the key markets like multi-storey offices and single storey industrial buildings for so many years. As can be seen from the project profiles in this – or any – month’s issue of NSC, steel is consistently the cost-effective choice for the widest range of types of building, delivering benefits to sustainability, to construction programmes and to flexibility; sometimes it is steel that makes buildings possible at all. Construction prices might have been on a rising trend recently, but steel retains its competitive cost edge and there is nothing on the horizon likely to change that.

Discrete elements of the analysis, purely relating to supply, were completed beyond this point due to the limitations of lockdown. Executive Summary 1. This Economic Needs Assessment has been produced by Turley – alongside a separate but linked Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) – on behalf of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council (‘the Councils’). It is intended to update their employment land evidence, last reviewed in 20151, and comply with national planning policy that has since been revised2. It provides evidence to inform the preparation of a Joint Local Plan, while establishing links with ambitious economic strategies that already exist to address local and wider priorities in this area. 2. It should be noted at the outset that while this report takes a long-term view guided by trends historically observed over a reasonable period of time, it has unfortunately been produced at a time of exceptional economic volatility.

  • The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire, a Personal Perspective
    The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire A Personal Perspective by Jim Worgan The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire A Personal Perspective by Jim Worgan Silverdale Colliery closed on the 31st December 1998, thus bringing to an end over 800 years of coal and ironstone mining in North Staffordshire. At its height the industry employed over 30,000 men and women and output reached 7 million tons of coal and 2½ million tons of ironstone per annum. Today many buildings and monuments dot the skyline, the most significant being:- a) Chatterley Whitfield Colliery which closed in 1977 and then opened as the first ever underground Mining Museum in Great Britain in 1979. Shortly before it closed in August 1993 the site became scheduled as an Ancient Monument comprising 34 buildings dating from 1883 to the 1960s, most of which are scheduled or listed. It is the most complete coal mine in Great Britain and possibly Western Europe. Most of the site, which amongst others contains the headgears (metal structures and pulley wheels) of the Hesketh, Platt, Institute and Winstanley shafts, is derelict although two or three buildings have been restored. These are now in use for commercial purposes and by the Chatterley Whitfield Friends (a Charity Organisation) who are doing everything they can “to keep the site alive”. They have a large archive of photographs, documents, plans/maps and artefacts and their Heritage Centre on site is normally open to the public by appointment. b) Foxfield Colliery at Godley Brook (Dilhorne) in the Cheadle Coalfield where most of the former colliery site survives.
