Hammersons plc., one of Europe’s leading real estate and development companies has appointed Waldeck to work on the £11million extension being built at Queensgate shopping centre in Peterborough to create room for retail giant Primark.

The 60,000 ft2 store, which will be one of the largest units in the centre, will open its doors to the public in November 2012. Hammersons Senior Project Manager Neil Crawford said “we are really excited to be bringing Primark to both the Queensgate Shopping Centre and Peterborough city centre”. Waldeck have worked closely with Hammerson plc. over several years with the redevelopment and

restructuring of Queensgate to modify the retail space into a modern and contemporary environment.

Several existing retail units are being remodelled to form one large unit over two floors and Waldeck has been appointed by Hammerson to undertake the civil and structural engineering work on the project from the feasibility through to the detailed design stage. “Drawing on their inherent knowledge of the shopping centre, coupled with the first rate service they provide, Waldeck was the natural choice as engineers for this large and complex cut and carve project.” Comments Neil Crawford Senior Project Engineer for Hammersons.
