WHAT’S NEW? Pipe Lining Preserves Drains
at Historical Town Hall The drainage system at one of Sheffield's most iconic buildings has been rehabilitated with an extensive programme of remote structural repairs.
Sheffield City Council commissioned Lanes Group plc to carry out the planned drain maintenance work at the Grade I Listed Sheffield Town Hall.
Drainage engineers from the Lanes Sheffield depot have installed 64 structural liners in pipes beneath the 120-year-old civic building in the centre of the city.
The cure in place pipelining (CIPP) technique, often referred to as patch lining, allows drainage systems to be renewed without the need for extensive excavations.
Arnold Morton, Minor Works Supervisor for Sheffield City Council, said: "The way the Lanes team has gone about its work has been impressive. The town hall is a high-profile building in a prominent city-centre location, so setting the highest standards of health and safety and work-site management has been very important. Lanes has delivered on both."

Principle Retains Broadgate

term,” said Terry King, Client Services Director for Broadgate Estates.

working both inside and outside the building, late in the evening and at night to avoid inconvenience for its users and the general public.
Lanes, the UK's largest independent drainage specialist, has extensive experience of surveying, repairing, and rehabilitating the drainage systems of historical buildings like Sheffield Town Hall.
David Cheesman, Area Development Manager for the Lanes Sheffield depot, said: "This was one of the largest number of patch liners installed in one go by our depot.
"The process is a highly-effective way to rehabilitate drains. A patch liner extends the life of the section of pipe it's installed in by up to 25 years. Effectively, it's the equivalent of a new pipe.
"Many of the sections of pipe we were renewing under the town hall were in such hard-to-reach places that this no-dig drain repair solution was the only realistic option. In this case, the work was scheduled to take a month, but was completed it in less than three weeks."

It is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our on-site teams and our investment in technology, which allows both companies to access real time data. Principle Cleaning Services is proud to work for Broadgate Estates and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership.”
One of Principle’s main aims is to be the most sustainable cleaning company to work for, providing the best working environment, conditions and access to progress for the firm’s 1700+ employees.
