Client: NOVUM Structures UK
Project Name: St Helens - Bus Interchange Glass Canopies
Developer: St Helens Council and English Cities Fund (ECF)
Main Contractor: Vinci Construction
Our scope of work:
The interchange building will feature two fully enclosed concourses offering spacious and sheltered bus waiting areas. Two small building ‘pods’ at alternate ends of the concourses will house a new travel centre and accessible toilets.
The concourses will be enclosed in a glass facade to maximise natural light. Buildings will be clad in decorative brickwork to reflect the character of the surrounding historic buildings.
The interchange building benefits from a highly sustainable design which includes using recycled, natural and local materials. Solar panels on the main roof will capture energy from the sun and each pod building will feature a green living roof.
The interchange will also create capacity for St Helens to welcome larger and more sustainable buses in the future and move all bus operations into a safe and controlled environment – reducing congestion around the town centre.
