The Liverpool School of Architecture is undergoing a major construction project that includes a new extension and improvements to existing buildings. The £23 million extension, designed by O’Donnell + Tuomey opened in January 2026 featuring enhanced teaching and research facilities. The project also includes eco-friendly materials and improvements to the 1930s buildings, originally designed by Charles Reilly. Adana Construction successfully delivered the foundations, drainage, ground floor slab and exposed concrete frame on the project. The building features several distinctive architectural elements, including curved balconies, fluted soffits, and 9-metre-high exposed concrete walls, all of which required careful planning and skilled execution to achieve the desired finish.

The Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital, located on the Salford Royal site, began construction in February 2021 and officially opened in May 2024. The facility provides 90 in-patient beds, five new operating theatres, a dedicated helipad and the UK’s first RAPTOR hybrid major trauma theatre. Adana Construction’s scope included the groundworks, reinforced concrete frame, and external works packages. The project comprised an eight-storey, 10,000m² reinforced concrete structure, incorporating four reinforced concrete cores constructed on piled foundations. A critical project constraint was its immediate adjacency to the live Accident & Emergency department and designated Blue Light routes. These were maintained fully operational and uninterrupted throughout the works, requiring meticulous planning, logistics management, and strict health & safety control.

The Globe and Simpson building in Manchester, now known as The Globe Building forms part of the broader St. John's development. It is a 12-storey office building with retail space on the ground and first floors, located on the former Granada Studios site. Developed by Allied London, Adana Construction completed the installation of the main drainage, capping beam, RC basement and 12-storey core. Adana worked closely with our client from tender stage to ensure the construction was efficient and cost effective.

Completed in 2021, Broughton House Veterans Care Village involved the phased demolition and redevelopment of the existing site to create a comprehensive veterans’ care facility. The scheme included 64 nursing home bedrooms, 34 independent living apartments, a military support hub, a memorial park with cenotaph and remembrance walls, and landscaped gardens including an all-weather bowling green and bandstand. Adana Construction undertook the enabling works, forming new access routes and drainage connections, followed by substructure works comprising reinforced concrete foundations and the construction of the new four-storey reinforced concrete frame. The project was completed with the full external works package including drainage, ducting and hard landscaping.

The Main Stand is one of the largest all-seater single stands in Europe. Adana Construction was contracted to deliver the concrete floors and foundations for the scheme. Due to the large scale of the foundations, two concrete pumps were utilised simultaneously, pouring in excess of 1000m³ of concrete in one day, with a total of 10,000m³ used in the foundations overall. The ground floor slab comprised approximately 6,000m3 of concrete, while 27,000m3 of concrete on metal decking was installed for the upper floor slabs. The expansion increased the Main Stand’s capacity by approximately 8,500 seats. Following the successful completion of these works, Adana was also awarded and completed the external hard landscaping package for the project.

Burlington House is one of Manchester’s most centrally located residential developments, designed by internationally acclaimed architects SimpsonHaugh. The 11-storey building features cantilevered floor slabs at levels seven and ten and occupies a constrained site bordered by canals on two sides and live roads on the other two. Adana’s early involvement during the design stage proved critical in addressing the technical challenges presented by the scheme, particularly in relation to the cantilever construction, helping to ensure the project could be delivered safely and efficiently.

The Merseyside Police Operational Command Centre in Speke, Liverpool, is a three-storey exposed reinforced concrete frame with a total floor area of 13,500 m². Adana Construction delivered the in-situ reinforced concrete works, including pile caps and ground beams forming the substructure. The superstructure comprised reinforced concrete slabs, including the ground floor, together with fair-faced circular and square columns designed to remain exposed. Exposed soffits required high-quality formwork and precise workmanship throughout. Reinforced concrete lift shafts were constructed with recessed tie-rod patterns, with tie holes carefully finished to achieve a consistent architectural appearance. The completed building provides a robust, functional, and visually striking civic facility.

This project involved the construction of a 4,050 m² training centre within the grounds of a live hospital. Adana Construction delivered the reinforced concrete frame over a 31-week programme, completed in two phases across three storeys. The structure included pile caps and foundations, together with four reinforced concrete cores comprising two lift shafts and two stair cores. The superstructure featured architectural circular and square exposed concrete columns, as well as high-quality exposed concrete soffits throughout.

The £27.5m development commencing in 2013 and funded by the Welsh Government and the European Regional Development Fund, provides a range of facilities; including a theatre, studio theatre, cinema, restaurant, bars, a students’ union, and teaching and learning spaces equipped with the latest technology. Adana Construction’s scope of works included the groundworks and substructure package, construction of a 31m-high lift shaft using climbing shutters, a 160m-long reinforced concrete retaining wall up to 7m high formed against an existing rock face, and the construction of seven levels of reinforced concrete frame. The contract required a workforce of approximately 60 operatives and supervisory staff. In total, the scheme incorporated more than 700 tonnes of reinforcement and approximately 6,000m³ of concrete.

The project involved the construction of a four-storey reinforced concrete frame for a new cultural facility. The venue includes a 500-seat main theatre, a 150-seat secondary theatre, 500m² of double-height gallery space, up to five cinema screens, learning areas, digital and broadcast production facilities, as well as a café, restaurant, and workshop spaces. Adana Construction delivered reinforced concrete perimeter walls exceeding 6m in height, along with in-situ concrete slabs throughout the structure. An 18m-high theatre space was also formed in reinforced concrete as part of the works. Sections of the reinforced concrete frame were constructed to a particularly high specification to achieve the required quality of exposed concrete finish.

Constructed during the 1930's, Trafford town hall is landmark building located adjacent to Old Trafford Cricket Ground and within close proximity to Old Trafford Football Stadium. This project was split over two packages; the first package included the initial enabling works and refurbishment to the existing building, whilst the second package comprised the groundworks, drainage and construction of the specialist post-tensioned frame. Adana Construction was initially appointed to undertake the enabling works only. However, through strong performance on site, collaborative working relationships with the client, and a competitive commercial approach, Adana was subsequently awarded the post-tensioned concrete frame and further refurbishment works.

This 6-storey, 3,100m² reinforced concrete frame with basement was constructed to an exceptionally high specification overlooking the Rochdale Canal. A sealed sheet-piled cofferdam was installed adjacent to Piccadilly Basin, with 24-hour pumping maintained to create a dry, stable environment for basement construction. Post-tensioned flat slabs span up to 12.5m between columns, reducing reinforcement and delivering flexible open-plan space. Circular and elliptical columns were formed to a premium architectural finish, with blow holes limited to 3mm. A 7m-high feature wall with a textured timber finish was achieved through precise shutter alignment and controlled concreting techniques. The project was shortlisted by The Concrete Society for its outstanding design and quality of finish.

This residential scheme in New Islington was delivered in two phases. Phase one involved Adana Construction constructing a basement car park, including lift shafts, stair cores, and reinforced concrete columns, while maintaining the integrity of sheet-piled walls below canal level. Phase two comprised a 9-storey apartment block with cantilevered floors between levels 3 and 6, creating an irregular building outline. Cantilevered sections were supported with shoring and jacking until completion. Adana supplied two tower cranes and a range of mobile concrete pumps, including a 63m pump—the largest in the UK at the time.
