The new year has brought steady progress to Tranquillity Manchester<\/a>. The project remains two weeks ahead of schedule, with key structural milestones taking shape despite some challenges from the cold weather.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Been Happening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Structural Progress<\/strong>: The reinforced concrete (RC) frame, which started ahead of schedule, experienced slight delays due to the cold snap but is still moving forward well. Slip form construction for core 2 is now complete, and core 1 will be finished this week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Slabs and Columns<\/strong>: The lower ground floor slabs are done, except for the reception slab. Upper ground floor slab pours 1 to 4 are complete, with columns now rising to level 1. Meanwhile, formwork for the level 2 slab has started in pour area 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • External Works<\/strong>: The tarmac base for the car park is complete, providing a solid foundation for the next stage of work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The team is pushing ahead with several key areas in February:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Continuing work on waterproof membranes and car park foundations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Progressing column and slab work for the upper ground floor, level 1, and level 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Completing the slip form construction for core 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Beginning sub-structure work to prepare for the next phase of construction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Design and Utilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The design team has issued updated plans, including core structural drawings, revised floor slab penetrations, and masonry layouts. On the utilities side, 95% of off-site ducting for electricity is complete, with the substation fit-out set to begin. Water pipe installation starts in early February, and telecom connections are progressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
