This month’s cover story reports on the temporary jetties that are being installed to aid the construction of HS2’s Colne Valley Viaduct, as it crosses a number of lakes.

NSC reports on three commercial schemes, two in London and one in Belfast. A former textile factory in Whitechapel, which was later used as an art school is undergoing a refurbishment programme that includes adding six floors to the existing structure. This will create a new office block rebranded as The Rowe.

In the central London district of St Giles, a new 10-storey commercial building will offer 21,400m2 office and retail space, alongside 18 apartments. Known as the Earnshaw Building, the project is targeting a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating.

Highlighting the buoyancy of the commercial sector in Belfast, work is progressing on the 11-storey Paper Exchange, which is the city’s largest-ever speculative office development.

Structural steelwork is playing a leading role in the construction of Sky Studios Elstree. With a total of 13 sound stages, the facility will provide a significant boost to the UK’s film and TV industry.

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