Premier Inn - Cribbs Causeway, Bristol

In collaboration with our trusted partners at Carter Lauren Construction Ltd, HCL played a pivotal role in the successful rebuild of the Premier Inn Causeway after it was devastated by a fire back in 2019.

HCL was appointed to deliver the striking external façade on a full design, supply, and install basis. Our work included the installation of Weinerberger Brickslips, 8mm Fibre Cement Cladding, Support Framing, various feature PPC pods/flashings, and Fire Barriers, contributing to the stunning new look of the building.

Given the tight schedule, HCL's involvement was critical to the timely and successful delivery of the façade. By working closely with the talented Axiom Architects LLP and a proactive design manager in Robert Downs, we were able to design a façade with minimal sequenced interfaces, allowing trades to progress quickly and efficiently.

Considering the construction of the structure and the layout of the external works, it was essential to design a robust and accommodating support structure that would allow for movement within the primary structure along with any differential movement between the structure and the external Facade. This was essential to ensure long-term functionality and performance of the building.

A big thank you to everyone involved:
Shout-outs to Wienerberger UK, Wienerberger Belgium, ASh & Lacy, Plasterstrip, ROCKWOOL UK, AIM and FGF Ltd Kristy Driver-Gray for their excellent supply and fabrication services.

Special thanks to Tim Luke & Gareth Day from Carter Lauren, Dave Haskell from Earnshaw Engineering Ltd for the Custom made PPC box profiles and feature pods, Chris Hodkin and Gordon from Plasterstrip for their engineering input, and Adam Westaway for his support throughout.

by Ryan Hawkings • 6 August 2018
North Somerset Council leader Nigel Ashton unveiled a plaque to mark the development’s completion, which opened to the public in May. The new airport car park has more than 1,100 spaces across three levels and is situated within a short walking distance of the terminal, with two additional floors providing an extra 750 spaces to be added in winter.’ ‘Goldbeck Construction built the facility, which features enhanced parking bay technology, helping drivers to easily locate empty spaces. The development follows recent improvements elsewhere across the site in the past year, including a £2.5million customer reception centre in the silver zone car park and a £2.3million upgrade to the immigration hall.’ ‘Work on a second multi-storey car park, featuring a public transport interchange on the top level, will commence next year and is expected to open in 2021, adding nearly 2,000 more spaces. Plans for a third multi-storey car park will be included in a forthcoming planning application, with the airport’s expansion scheme seeking to increase its annual passenger numbers to about 12 million per year.’ Article by The Weston Mercury (C) http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/bristol-airport-opens-9-5m-car-park-1-5593037 For more information, visit www.bristolairport.co.uk/future
