Scope of work:

Hambleton Steel was responsible for the fabrication and erection of the structural steelwork for Newcastle University’s Plot 4, a new multi-storey academic and teaching facility. The development forms part of the university’s investment in modern learning and research environments, providing high-quality teaching and office spaces.

Our scope included the fabrication and installation of 728 tonnes of hot-rolled steel and 4.6 tonnes of cold-rolled members. Major sub-trades delivered as part of our package included galvanised bar tension bracing in 520-grade carbon steel.

One of the reasons I chose an apprenticeship was because I could earn and learn at the same time. Working at Hambleton Steel has provided me with day-to-day training and experience which has helped me understand the industry and business.

Working with Hambleton Steel on Manchester City Campus College was an enjoyable experience for ourselves and the wider design team. Hambleton brought their knowledge and skill by collaboratively working with the whole team from RIBA Stages 2/3 until completion by problem solving, giving advise on buildability and bringing efficiencies to the design to ensure it maintained within budget.
