Manchester Central
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals

Project context
The VIADUX 2 residential and hotel mixed-use tower is proposed to be developed on Manchester Central Convention Complex servicing yard, reducing logistics space and impacting events build and break operations.
Our work
Momentum reviewed the VIADUX 2 proposals and modelled the impact of reduced servicing yard capacity on Manchester Central’s busiest events. Using build and break data, we assessed operational risks and reviewed the S278 highway design and LinSig model, identifying mitigation measures to ensure the venue remains fully functional at VIADUX 2’s opening.
Client outcomes
Momentum enabled Manchester Central to make a decision on certain aspects of its future operations in regards to traffic management as well as contributing to the VIADUX 2 planning application decision.
