Peter Marshalls have been chosen with Billington Structures for the world-class sequencing facility at the Sanger Institute.
Peter Marshalls have been chosen to provide steelwork along with Billington Structures for the £27m world-class sequencing facility for Genomics England and Sanger Institute. The new state of the art building will be funded by the Wellcome Trust and Kier Construction will be the main contractor.
The Sanger Institute in Hinxton, South Cambridgeshire is home to Genomics England Ltd, and is the initial sequencing facility for the bold and ambitious 100,000 Genome Project. It provides state-of-the-art facilities for the Sanger Institute fleet of sequencing machines and sample preparation. The Sanger Institute is a world leader in genome research that delivers insights into human, evolutionary and pathogen biology. Their research aims to change how the world thinks about biology and human health.
The new state-of-the-art genome-sequencing hub will consist of a three-storey laboratory and two-storey Energy Centre with the inclusion of a North elevation feature truss and single storey car park. Peter Marshall Steel Stairs are working with steelwork contractors Billington Structures Ltd on this unique project. We are supplying and installing curved steelwork to add an architectural feature to the North Façade of the building.
Significant progress has been made on construction of the new building and it has been going up at an incredible pace which puts it on track to be complete on budget and on time. With the concrete shell and interior walls installed, the building infrastructure is also starting to take shape with over half of the building being fully clad. This work is a credit to Kier Construction, the main contractor, who have been collaborating with all of the sub-contractors on the Sanger project. It is an unprecedented demonstration of open and transparent working between all of the companies and Peter Marshall are proud to be involved with such a fantastic group.
Other Billington companies involved in the project included Easi-Edge and Hoard-it who were chosen to provide safety barriers and site hoarding respectively.
