Clydebank Housing Associaton ProjectTuesday, December 1st, 2009 / Case Studies

A £5.1m Queens Gate Housing Project which provides the first “eco-friendly” homes in Clydebank.  This landmark building with its curved façade and high quality external appearance is also the first social housing in Clydebank for 5 years.

There are 40 one or two bedroom apartments over 4 storeys for social rent for Clydebank Housing Association.  The development was officially opened by the culture minister Michael Russell MSP on 31^st August 2009.

The project was managed by Campbell Construction Group, and was sited on a one-acre vacant site, previously owned by West Dumbartonshire Council.  All homes have been designed to a top eco-rating with high insulation, energy efficient fittings and heating, low CO2 emissions; waste recycling facilities, sustainable sourced building materials and customised glazed balconies.

Hillhouse supplied 2,940m² of prestressed hollowcore floor slabs to form a Composite Floor Slab and 52m³ of reinforced concrete staircases and landing units all designed to BS8110 structural use of concrete.

Hillhouse had a complete sub-contract package for the design, manufacture and erection of the concrete flooring, stairs and landing units for this project ensuring all deliveries, haulage and craneage were co-ordinated to meet the fast track contract programme.

Hillhouse Precast delivered all precast concreted components on time and on budget, enabling quick build on this project.  The production facilities at the Beith factory ensured both the high standard of product and delivery performance.
