Contractor
Malmaison
Background
In 2017, Malmaison struck a deal to transform a seven-storey office building into a new high-end 150 bedroom hotel, complete with Skybar, restaurant, coffee shop and gym, aiming for completion by the end of 2019.
Project Details
Located in the city centre of historic York, it’s situated in a beautiful spot next to the River Ouse. With York Minster cathedral just down the road, it was clearly visible from the rooftop as we worked.
This new Malmaison required Davit arms fitting to the roof, to be used for abseiling down the building for repair & maintenance.
Highwire built and installed the fixings, designed by Liz Rickard herself. Pull out strength testers were used to confirm the suitability of the fixing and the holding force of base concrete/installation method.
As always, Highwire conformed to the necessary safety standards.
