Works Undertaken - OBR Construction have been awarded the Concrete frame on the Whitehall riverside development in Leeds for Bowmer and Kirkland. The project is 2 blocks 15 and 18 floors staggered on both with a podium slab linking both blocks together. OBR plan to slipform both cores following with the frame using precast columns and Bamtec roll out reinforcement for the slabs.
OBR have safety screens to the perimeter of both blocks for B&Ks following trades to work off.

"OBR’s team were dynamic in their approach preferring to slip form each of the 4 cores, the tower core was successfully slipped in 7 weeks and quickly became a new landmark on Bristol’s skyline."

Castle Park View Development, Bouygues UK
Bouygues UK engaged OBR Group for the construction of the RC Frame on the iconic Castle Park View Development situated in the centre of Bristol. The 26 storey tower along with 4 other lower level blocks has become the tallest building to be constructed in Bristol having surpassed the historic Saint Mary Redcliffe constructed over 500 years ago. The works were carried out between October 2019 and December 2020. OBR’s team were dynamic in their approach preferring to slip form each of the 4 cores, the tower core was successfully slipped in 7 weeks and quickly became a new landmark on Bristol’s skyline. OBR supported the Bouygues delivery team and working well together allowed the works to be completed to a good quality and ahead of programme despite the impacts and closures associated with Covid-19. I would have no hesitation in working with OBR again in the future.
