Client: Nottingham City Council Broadmarsh Bus Station is a major transport and regeneration project forming a key part of Nottingham’s wider Southside redevelopment. The scheme delivers a modern, integrated transport hub incorporating a bus station, multi-storey car park, library, and retail space within a single landmark structure in the city centre. Replacing an outdated facility, the development improves connectivity, accessibility and user experience for thousands of daily passengers while supporting the wider regeneration of the Broadmarsh area. The scheme has been widely recognised for its design quality, sustainability and contribution to urban renewal. Services we provided Environmental & Sustainability Consulting Building Surveying Civil & Infrastructure Engineering Geotechnical & Ground Engineering Ground Investigation & Land Quality Structural Engineering Transport Planning & Traffic Engineering Water Engineering & Flood Risk Show More Our Role BWB was initially commissioned by Nottingham City Council to assess the feasibility of refurbishing the existing multi-storey car park. Through detailed monitoring, intrusive surveys and concrete investigations, we established that refurbishment would not provide a viable long-term solution, enabling the client to make an informed decision to proceed with redevelopment. Detailed design BWB was initially commissioned by Nottingham City Council to assess the feasibility of refurbishing the existing multi-storey car park. Through detailed monitoring, intrusive surveys and concrete investigations, we established that refurbishment would not provide a viable long-term solution, enabling the client to make an informed decision to proceed with redevelopment. Feasability to construction Following this, BWB delivered concept and detailed civil and structural engineering design for the demolition of the existing structure and construction of the new integrated facility. Our role evolved further as we were retained by Galliford Try as Civil and Structural Engineers during delivery, ensuring continuity from early feasibility through to construction. Ground conditions The project presented significant engineering and logistical challenges. The site’s historic use as marshland created difficult ground conditions, requiring careful foundation design and ground engineering solutions to ensure long-term stability. In addition, the need to retain and integrate existing retaining structures while delivering a new superstructure required precise coordination and structural innovation.
