Crescent Towers and Crescent Grange, off Dewsbury Road in Leeds, owned by Aire Valley Homes part of Leeds City Council, are in the process of having a complete external façade renovation.

HULL BRIDGE REPAIRS

Lingard have recently completed concrete repair works at the North Bridge, Hull.

This Grade II listed structure was re-constructed in 1870 to ensure flow of traffic to the East of the City of Hull.

The Bascule bridge design had suffered from years of salt laden exposure from airborne salts together with sulphate attack from traffic.

The City of Hull invited a select list if concrete repair companies to tender for the repair and protection work in 2010 and Lingard Ltd were awarded the £250,000 contract starting in September 2010.

The recently completed renovation will now ensure that this critical part of the Citys infrastructure will provide continuity access across the River Hull for many years.
