Hexagon Tower, Manchester

NON-COMBUSTIBLE

Client: Trinity Investment Management

Building: Hexagon Tower

Programme: Jan 2023 – Nov 2024

Contract Value: £8m

The Hexagon Tower is identified as a non-designated heritage asset requiring that the new building envelope does not substantially alter the complicated geometric features of the original building. This required substantial design and design-testing and innovation in installation. Works included the installation of aluminium rainscreen and high-performance integrated windows as part of a range of energy efficiency and carbon saving measures.

The objectives of the project were to maintain the heritage and architectural integrity of the building. To maintain its appearance. To be modern and forward-looking. And provide our occupiers a good looking building to work in.

…. we chose D&B following the comprehensive tender programme. Competitively and commercially they came out with a really good result, but that was also part of the reason. Secondly, their experience in dealing with complex buildings. They’ve worked on NHS hospitals, and other facilities similar to that, and this being a life science and NHS occupied building, we knew that they would have that experience that would enable them to deal with those occupiers quickly.”
