The Peel Single Storey car park, is a critical piece of infrastructure serving the Trafford Centre in Manchester which attracts over 30 million visitors annually and is one of the UK’s largest shopping and leisure destinations featuring over 200 stores, restaurants and a large cinema.

The car park required a comprehensive structural and aesthetic overhaul. As one of the UK’s premier shopping destinations, the challenge was to deliver a substantial technical refurbishment covering over 20,000sq meters of deck while maintaining use of the facility for visitors.

The project was particularly notable for introducing the Trafford Centre’s first Premium Parking zone, located strategically adjacent to Selfridges the centres first anchor tenant back in 1996. Providing an elevated experience of wider bays and the option to add on a valet parking service while you shop, with your clean car parked beneath a canopy for shelter from the rain.

The car park was suffering from carbonation and salt ingress and necessitated localised interventions to the substructure.  The removal of spalled concrete and treatment of reinforced steel was carried out to halt further corrosion followed by concrete repairs to soffits, beams and columns.
