IDE Midlands Region Meeting is a great success


The IDE Midlands meeting on Tuesday evening hosted by Coleman & Co at their Birmingham New Street Station site was a great success with 20 IDE members attending the site walk round and presentation.

Coleman & Co showcased innovative ideas to remove large concrete beams from the station car park to form space for the construction of the new atrium, by the use of purpose built overhead cranes and temporary propping systems throughout.

The meeting programme saw a presentation by the Coleman team and a site visit before a lively discussion session over refreshments that continued into the night at a local bar.

IDE Vice President John Woodward would like to thank Coleman & Co, on behalf of IDE President Terry Quarmby, for hosting the event and allowing the members to gain an insight into how such a difficult contract has been so well managed.
