Encasement to conceal external structural steelwork at the building, which forms the centrepiece of the 2017 European City of City of Culture’s £15 million @TheDock development. Designed by Leeds based architects,
Enjoy Design, and owned by Hull-based regeneration company Wykeland Group, the C4DI building houses one of the UK’s leading digital tech hubs, as well as 70,000 sq.ft of office space and an external public performance space in the former dry dock. Below the striking bronze PPC

Hull’s C4DI gets innovative with Encasement H
ull’s landmark Centre for Digital Innovation (C4DI) is using ‘Polyma’ GRP column casings from
casings are finished in gloss RAL 7004 Signal Grey and range in height from 3,600mm up to 4,000mm to meet the building’s design parameters. As the column casings are used externally and close to sea water, the Polyma casings are an ideal choice for this application as they are highly durable, as well as being resistant to corrosion, weathering and damage. Encasement’s Managing Director, Martin
Taylor, commented: “The regeneration around the dock area including C4DI has given a significant boost to the area and helped Hull become a key centre for tech innovation. We’re delighted to have played a part in this project, where the quality of the building design and energy saving technologies it incorporates has set the scene for the innovation centred businesses it accommodates.” For more information please visit Encasement’s website or contact them by calling.
