Co-operative Head Office - Manchester

The Co-operative Group is building a new head office in Manchester that is due to open in summer 2012. The 16 storey building will be home to more than 3,000 employees working across the Group's family of retailing and financial services businesses.

PBSD have been tasked with designing an internal access scaffold for installation of the main glazed roof structure. The design required the atrium to be left open with no leg loads permitted on the ground floor slab. A solution was achieved by erecting an independent scaffold around the perimeter of the atrium based out on a grillage of steel Ub's that spanned between the main basement columns. The independents where then linked together using aluminium trusses spanning 22.5m to support a 17.5m high birdcage. When completed the total height of the scaffold will be in excess of 60m with a combined Total D+L load of 560 tonnes!
