The contract for a new automatic telephone exchange in Swansea saw Andrew Scott Ltd undertake the construction of the twelve-storey building measuring 280’ x 200’, with a basement of some 18’ in depth which was founded on insitu concrete piles at a depth of 50’ to 60’ below ground level. A striking feature of the building is the vertical fluted finish formed on the outside of the concrete towers, which was achieved by the use of fibreglass shuttering.
