Structural engineering: behind Newcastle’s Pilgrim Street

Join members of our structural team, including Paul Hards, Partner, as they share their expertise on the design and delivery of Bank House and Pilgrim’s Quarter. The session will explore the structural engineering challenges and solutions behind the regeneration of Newcastle’s Pilgrim Street, offering perspectives on complex constraints, innovative solutions and sustainable approaches.

Providing context through the history of the wider Pilgrim Street masterplan, the event will examine key technical considerations that shaped these complex city-centre developments. Topics include large-scale demolition, constrained urban sites, and integrating new development alongside sensitive historic assets, with a particular focus on Pilgrim’s Quarter and its façade retention scheme.

Attendees will gain practical insight into delivering major commercial projects within highly constrained and historically significant environments, with lessons learned to support future project delivery and professional development.
