Builders Lift, Highrise Building Projects at the Exhibition Centre & integrated Hotel under construction at Kings Dock, Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
Construction work began on the 40m Exhibition Centre Liverpool and 26m integrated hotel at Kings Dock on 17th February 2014. Liverpool in Work is supporting the main contractor for the development, ISG Construction, with access to the local supply chain and sub contractor base, as well as support in filling in job vacancies and Apprenticeships. The three - hall exhibition centre and the 216 - room 'headquarters' hotel will form part of ACC Liverpool, home to BT Convention and Echo Arena. Exhibition Centre Liverpool will be capable of hosting large conferences, trade and consumer exhibitions, concerts and sports events on a national and international scale. The initial phrase of the building work will see the installation of piling and foundations to fix the building to the sandstone bedrock 20 metres underneath the site. An underground tunnel will be built during this stage to provide services to the hall floors. The next stage will see the start of the steelwork erected for the exhibition centre and concrete frame for the hotel. It is estimated that the exhibition and event programme will support 1,300 jobs in the wider economy and contribute in the region of £40 million per year in economic benefit to the Merseyside area.
