Our Town Hall
Manchester
The Our Town Hall (OTH) project encompasses the refurbishment and restoration of the Grade I listed Neo-Gothic masterpiece designed by Alfred Waterhouse
This development is situated in the vibrant London’s East Village, comprised of 480 homes for private rental, built within two tower (30 and 26 storeys) and podium buildings. DGP Logistics helped plan and deliver the logistics strategy for N08 East Village. The project was developed using innovative jump factories. DGP provided consolidation centre services for the project to alleviate congestion and maximise site space which was required to effectively manage factory jumps. Materials were unloaded by DGP in Purfleet and loaded and delivered back to site when requested. The unloading was carried out using overhead cranes. Containers and reverse logistics was applied by sending back waste and unwanted materials in the empty containers.
DGP supported the main contractor via local employment development scheme and training apprentices. DGP local community engagement activities included donating a bespoke bench made from recycled materials from the project to Bonny Downs Community association and helping to refurbish Newham Park facilities to support the local community and leave a positive legacy.
This development includes two residential towers, 26 & 31 storeys high and incorporating two,10 storey pavilions connecting with a sky bridge. N06 was built using the same method as N08.
