This month’s cover story is the new Isle of Man Ferry Terminal in Liverpool. The use of steelwork has provided the scheme with a number of benefits, including the creation of feature funnel-like rooflights that adorn the top of the Mersey riverside structure.

NSC reports from 22 Ropemaker Street, a landmark commercial scheme in the City of London. The project has used a bespoke stability balancing act, whereby the building’s cores are working in conjunction with four full-height Vierendeel ladder frames.

New steel-framed structures and renovated existing buildings form the Rosebank Distillery in Falkirk. One of its buildings has a sawtooth roof that features demountable elements to allow large copper stills to be removed and replaced in the production area.

Described as a facility of the future, the Sherbourne Resource Centre in Coventry will, on completion, offer a sustainable solution for recyclable household waste. The centre will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core of its production system.

Structural steelwork has provided the necessary long clear column-free spaces for a Maintenance Repair Overhaul hangar at Norwich Airport. A series of trusses form two equal spans of 45.5m-wide.

NSC also features industry news, a technical article and advisory desk from the Steel Construction Institute, and codes and standards updates.
