Gaol roof locked in

Morgan Sindall has completed core structural work as part of a major renovation and redevelopment at Haverfordwest Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The scheme includes a renovation of the Grade II-listed gaol building, which sits within the walls.

The gaol’s roof has been fully replaced, and major works have been undertaken to stabilise the building’s core structure. The next phase will include transforming the gaol into a visitor attraction with a new café, a shop and a 500-seat outdoor events space.

Wall comes to life

A new living wall has been installed at the site of the former Royal Liverpool Hospital. The wall will surround a new garden in the city.

The 33m vertical meadow, installed by BAM UK & Ireland, is a collaboration with the Eden Project and is due to be completed in 2027.

Mace’s City Hall return

Mace has returned to start the refurbishment of a landmark scheme – the former City Hall in London – that it originally oversaw more than two decades ago.

The firm is managing the £150m transformation of the former Greater London Authority headquarters at More London into a modern, sustainable office and retail scheme for Kuwaiti-owned real estate investor St Martins Property Investments.

Mace delivered the More London development in July 2002.

Bridging the Calder

Beams were installed in late July by contractor Severfield to connect a bridge across the River Calder for the Baker Viaduct in Ravensthorpe, Northamptonshire.

Severfield is working with BAM Nuttall on the scheme, which is part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), a multi-billion-pound railway programme across the north.

Sisk wins Irish Centre scheme

Sisk has been appointed to redevelop the London Irish Centre in Camden, north London. Work is due to start on the £38m project, designed by Coffey Architects, in January 2027, with completion set for early 2029.
