Idom Merebrook, one of the UK's leading multi-disciplinary engineering consultancies has been appointed by Pinnacle (Bradford) Ltd, to manage the outlined design for all mechanical and electrical building services for The Xchange building, in Bradford.
The Xchange building, on Charles Street is in the heart of the city and within Bradford's conservation area. Previously known as Arndale House, the new Xchange development will transform the building's commercial roots into a modern residential focal point for the city.
Idom Merebrook offers a complete range of traditional Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) engineering services, from concept through to completion and specialises in identifying and installing the appropriate systems for renovation projects such as the Xchange in Bradford.
Idom Merebrook' s Manchester team has been briefed to design the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, domestic hot and cold water service and all electrical systems such; as lighting and small power to meet the new requirements and residential usage of the building.
The refurbishment is due to be complete at the beginning of 2017, and plans will convert the 1960's office block into a mix of retail and residential developments over 9 floors, with space for 126 one and two bedroom apartments.
David Spacey, Technical Director at Idom's Manchester office commented: "The Xchange will be a prestigious, modern and high spec development with an array of high performance building services systems once complete. This is a challenging project for our team - the M&E needs of the building have been totally transformed, which has meant a complete redesign of the internal systems to meet residential requirements rather than commercial."
"There is also a strong focus on energy efficiency within the brief, which includes a comfort cooling system and energy efficient lighting.
"For our team the project demonstrates the diversity of our skill and capabilities within the building services arena, and will be flagship project for us in helping to create one of the city's most notable buildings."
