Consumer Metropolis Life Developments has appointed Wakefield-based Henley as principal contractor to refurbish the Grade II-listed Midland Mill, which might be transformed into 22 flats alongside a brand new 33-storey tower being delivered by most important contractor Torsion.
The historic mill dates again to 1793 and is a recognised landmark on the town’s South Financial institution. Work is already underway on the complicated restoration, which is able to contain dismantling and rebuilding a number of of the constructing’s façades.
Henley will set up bespoke stainless-steel reinforcements, fabricated by sister agency HZS Stainless Metal, to combine with unique timber and masonry. A brand new steel-framed slate roof may also incorporate photo voltaic PV tiles able to producing greater than 40,000 kWh a yr.
Henley is drawing on its in-house divisions together with Henley Brickwork, Rail and Stone Specialists to hold out the complicated job.
Tom Cardoe, md of restoration at Henley, mentioned: “Our position isn’t simply to protect the previous; it’s to engineer it for the long run.”
