GH20 Granary Quay

Granary Quay, the third phase of the Dandara riverside masterplan in Glasgow Harbour, is a remarkable riverside rental development that stands as a testament to innovation in construction.

With a focus on delivering 342 new homes on the banks of the River Clyde, the project has successfully revitalized an empty area of land and introduced a vibrant way of living to the community. Creagh Concrete Products Ltd. played a pivotal role in this transformation, contributing its expertise in designing, manufacturing, and installing precast panels that form the backbone of the GH20 building.

Project Overview:
The GH20 project consists of an L-shaped block of accommodation designed to offer a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and twobedroom flats. Additionally, the ground floor features commercial spaces, social areas, and a gym, enhancing the overall liveability and functionality of the development. The design incorporated a large podium landscaped courtyard, creating a series of outdoor spaces that provide scenic views of the prominent ship building site on the opposite side of the River Clyde.

Creagh Concrete’s Contribution:
Creagh Concrete Products Ltd. was entrusted with the design, manufacturing, and installation of the precast frame and sandwich panels, a decision that ultimately streamlined the construction process. The use of a limited palette of architectural concrete finishes contributed to the building’s aesthetic appeal. The construction involved concrete sandwich panels and a precast frame, all of which were prefabricated with windows fitted prior to delivery to the site. The entire on-site assembly was completed within an impressive timeframe of one year.
