“Immediately we understood the client’s need to create an innovative and forward-thinking space, and set about designing a system that would reflect the “XYZ way”. Winning the project has seen us take on extra staff – we’re now a 130-strong workforce, We’re also now looking for larger premises because of the expanding workload and the rising demand for prefabricated pipework and steelwork. “It’s projects like No. 1 and XYZ that keep Manchester at the forefront of engineering and construction. These will be the city’s most advanced commercial buildings and an absolute asset to the North West.”

“Traditionally, carbon steel pipework has been used on such projects. We’re using thin-wall stainless steel as it has many benefits; it’s much lighter, so health and safety risks during installation are greatly reduced. It’s also cost-effective; corrosion is limited so the material offers a much longer lifespan than carbon steel; a lifespan of up to 40 years. “Immediately we understood the client’s need to create an innovative and forward-thinking space, and set about designing a system that would reflect the “XYZ way”.

It’s projects like these that evidence the exciting future of the engineering industry.”
