Equans (the new name for Engie’s services-led activities) is converting Liverpool’s former TJ Hughes department store for Home Group.
The 10-storey building will have 144 one-bedroom flats, 99 two-bedroom and 15 studio apartments – all for private rent – with commercial and retail space on the ground floor.
Work is due to begin on the scheme in late 2021.
Equans said that among the stakeholders that it had consulted for input for its plans were local taxi drivers.
Tim Wood, regional managing director at Equans UK & Ireland (North West), said: “We have been working on the project for around 18 months with the various stakeholders, and have integrated ourselves into the client’s team, enabling us to increase the overall capacity of the building, while also increasing the efficiency and viability of the project.”
We help builders across the UK with airtightness testing because getting it right first time saves stress, time and money. When air leaks out of a new build, it drives up heating bills, creates draughts and can lead to failed tests that delay handover. That’s why we plan early, walk the site with builders before the walls go up and offer advice to spot problems while they’re easy to fix. Testing only takes about an hour, and we’ll show you where leaks are if needed. We’ve done thousands of tests, and the ones that pass first time usually started with good prep.
Electric underfloor heating. There are two main types of underfloor heating: electric and hydronic. Electric systems use electricity to heat your floors and hot water uses water. Both types of systems use a pump to move the water through pipes. Underfloor radiant heating systems use electricity, water, or geothermal or solar heat pumps to warm your floors and space. Each type of system can provide a warm floor or room. Each type requires a different setup.
