Liverpool Waters March Update
Dock Boundary Wall Update
1. Opening in the dock wall – Contract works due to complete end of January/early
February 2019 – please note that the access into the Multi Storey Car Park closest to Bean Coffee will be closed as of the 21st January until Practical Completion. As of early February, the opening in the wall will be available for access both in and out of Princes Dock / William Jessop Way. Once complete, BCEGI will be taking a lane out of William Jessop Way (WJW) which is crucial to the delivery of The Lexington. This means that all users of the car park, nursery and Malmaison shall use the opening in the wall as an exit from Princes Dock with this section of WJW becoming one way. The attached drawing shows how the one way system will be set up from The Lexington heading south.
Following completion of the planned contract works, our opening in the dock wall Contractor will be working on other construction elements including the creation of a footpath around the ‘turning circle’, which will be created to provide complete segregation of pedestrians and construction activity. This will be followed by a series of pedestrian barriers down the western footpath of WJW to allow pedestrians safe movement around Princes Dock. The Contractor will also be completing required works to the dock boundary wall a little further south once Listed Building Consent is granted.
2. The Lexington – BCEGI are delivering The Lexington on behalf of Moda Living. The 320 unit PRS scheme’s piled foundations are now complete and the poured in-situ concrete frame is ongoing.
3. Plaza 1821 – Towards the end of 2018, the delivery partner for this 105 apartment unfortunately went into administration. Peel L&P have been working on re-procurement of a Contractor and have appointed Vermont to complete the scheme. Heyrod are now re-instated on the site and will continue to deliver the concrete frame.
4. Hive City Docks – Your Housing Group are currently in the final stages of procurement
to be able to commence works on site. Full planning authority has been granted with all
pre-commencement conditions discharged.
5. District Heat Network – Ahead of works commencing on the new Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal, the District Heating Pipe network has to be installed below the ground on Princes Parade in advance. Between February and May 2019 the works will progress as per the six phases on the attached drawing. With Mersey Heat acting as Client and Vital Energy as delivery partner, the intention will be to deliver heat by Winter 2019, powered by a Temporary Energy Centre which will be located in Liverpool Waters’ Central Docks. The pipes on Princes Parade will be installed in the west side carriageway which means traffic management and pedestrian diversions will be in place prior to works commencing.
6. Cruise Liner Terminal – Planning works ongoing.
7. Cruise Liner Hotel – Design and planning activities on going with application due to be submitted in February 2019.
