Manchester’s Piccadilly Place development is completed

Shepherd, SES, contractor

SES has completed work on the final phase of the Piccadilly Place development in Manchester with one of its channel partners and principal contractors Carillion. The design and installation of M&E services by SES over four years was worth over £15 million. It includes three levels of underground car park and three mixed-use buildings forming part of the south-side regeneration projects.

One of the buildings in Piccadilly Plane, No. 4, is one of only a few buildings in Manchester to have been awarded the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard for its efficiencies in design and operation. Offsite prefabrication was used extensively in the development, with the SES Prism facility building and installing over 250 fully serviced modules, service risers and fully skidded plant rooms.

SES is currently working on other projects in the Manchester, including the Greater Manchester Waste project and the Rail House building.
