We’re happy to announce that our involvement with refurbishment works at Gunwharf Quays shopping centre is now complete.
The walls of the internal avenues at the shopping centre in Portsmouth were reclad using Cedral fibre cement boards. Peter Dann were employed by Conamar to assess the wind load applied to the walls and to design the required fixings for the boarding, as well as checking the capacity of existing blockwork walls and designing various elements of secondary steelwork.
The prime waterfront retail destination is moving on to the next phase of redevelopment, including landscaping to the public realm. A new retail unit will also open its doors.
Sustainability is a key feature – owner and operator Landsec have installed 1,287 solar panels to generate more than 500,000kWh annually and reduce carbon emissions by 115 tonnes.
Works are due for completion in the spring of 2026.
