Project Description
Viadux is an impressive, 40-storey residential tower that rises above an existing masonry-arch viaduct structure in Manchester. The building incorporates a single protected escape stairwell, which also functions as the firefighting stair. Viadux offers a range of amenities on its lower levels including a swimming pool, spa rooms, lounge, gym, cinema and karaoke rooms, and an external terrace. Residential apartments occupy the upper floors.
Focusing on the tower’s unique fire engineering challenges, DFC worked closely with architects, developers and regulatory authorities to meet rigorous fire safety standards. DFC provided key fire safety consultancy, from design to completion.
