Car Park Projects

The requirement for town and city centre car parking is increasing, but the land available is at a premium. Therefore, multi-storey car parks offer the ideal solution. Billington Structures has considerable experience in constructing steel frame car parks, and is therefore in an excellent position to provide this solution.

St Paul’s Square, Liverpool

Billington Structures fabricated and erected the steel frames for three of the five buildings on this urban regeneration project located close to Liverpool city centre. The development included residential, retail and commercial properties, all of which are served by an eight storey, 397 space steel frame car park – one of the three structures provided by Billington. As well as the steel frame, the Billington build programme included the provision of precast concrete floors and stairs for the car park.

Echo Building, Sunderland

This 15-storey building contains three storeys of car parking, retail at ground floor level and 11 storeys of residential accommodation, made up of 179 apartments.

The three-level steel frame car park is open on the north elevation, but underground on the south elevation due to the slope of the land. Billington included all steelwork and metal decking for the project in their build programme.
