New Lindapter Case Study – Birmingham New Street.
Read how Lindapter Lindapter Hollo-Bolts provided an engineered solution for securing an impressive stainless steel façade at Birmingham New Street.
In recent years Birmingham New Street railway station and the Pallasades Shopping Centre had become the subject of criticism for congestion and their utilitarian 1960’s architecture.
To manage increased passenger numbers and improve the aesthetics, an ambitious redevelopment scheme of the area known as the “Birmingham Gateway” project was embarked upon.
The aim was to transform the railway station and the surrounding area to create a stunning 21st century
transport hub. One of the most important and complex aspects of the transformation would be the 20,000 m2
of mirrored stainless steel façade consisting of over 8,500 panels, connected by half a million fixings.
Network Rail specified that these fixings must exceed the 40 year life expectancy of the stainless steel panels.
