This was a particularly interesting project in view of the unique problems associated with the location of the building. Fixed craneage was not allowed on site nor off-loading of materials at the road side. Supply vehicles were limited to the size of a Transit van and had to drive on and off site without reversing as the road was classified as a Red Route.
A turntable was located on site and the building was constructed without any plant operated or materials stored outside the perimeter of the building line. This was achieved, with the additional constraint of full progressive collapse regulations as the building is five storeys, by using a combination of masonry, steel and timber, with timber floors.
