The transformation of Moor Lane Mills Water Tower, situated in Lancaster, stands as a remarkable testament to our expertise. This project was commissioned by NHS Property Services within the health sector, and its successful execution has injected new vitality into the local landscape.
Our scope encompassed vital water tower repair works, including:
- Brickwork Restoration: Breathing new life into the tower’s structure.
- Timber Window Overhaul: A complete makeover of existing timber windows.
- Structural Alterations: Extensive changes, featuring a new gantry.
- Roof Replacement: A brand-new roof structure and coverings.
Working at height posed a challenge, but our expertise ensured its smooth management. Additionally, the efficient distribution of materials was instrumental in timely project progression.
Our work substantially enriched the building’s value, introducing an additional cost of £13,000 beyond the original contract sum. Notably, the water tower’s revitalisation contributes to the aesthetic appeal of Moor Lane, transforming it from a rust-ridden relic to an eye-catching architectural feature.
This transformation illustrates how skilled execution can turn challenges into opportunities. The Moor Lane Mills Water Tower, once a fading landmark, now stands proudly as a symbol of revitalisation, enriching the local environment and uplifting the community’s spirit.
