BRIDGEWATER PLACE
Wind Reduction Baffles
Project Summary
Bridgewater Place in Leeds, one of the UK's tallest buildings outside London, required urgent intervention after high wind speeds at ground level posed safety risks to pedestrians and road users. The brief called for a durable solution to mitigate the dangerous wind tunnel effect without impacting the building's architectural integrity.
The MPS Solution
MPS Concrete Solutions installed a series of custom-designed baffle systems across the structure's façade and open sections. Working at height with rope access teams, we ensured each unit was secured precisely to deliver consistent airflow reduction. Our works formed part of a multi-disciplinary programme designed to meet safety regulations and reduce the effects of wind shear — helping to protect public areas below and bring the site up to spec for long-term use.
