PMC Midlands Case Studies

Connect Distribution, Birmingham – Gas House & Distribution Office

As part of PMC Midlands on-going redevelopment and expansion of Connect Distribution's facilities in Birmingham, the brick gas house has been demolished as it was falling down due to subsidence and has been replaced with a steel frame building.

All groundwork was carried out to rectify subsidence issues, including laying new drainage and sewerage pipework and pump.

In addition a distribution office / customer pick-up point has been built to improve the national distribution centre’s customer facilities.

Both buildings have been constructed of steel portal frame with Micro-Rib composite panels fitted, in keeping with the existing site development and to meet the latest building regulations.

A substantial amount of groundwork was required and the thru-way and parking areas have been resurfaced.
