Parker Tower Show Flat open
Published by admin at 5:57 pm in Projects on site with No Comments
The Show Flat in the 1960’s built, multi-storey office tower block on Parker Street in Covent Garden has opened for viewings.
The structure of Parker Tower is being extensively remodelled to accommodate the change from 1960’s office use to 21st Century residential use, including the addition of three extra floors. Moxley Architects are working with Legendre UK Ltd, the UK arm of Brittany based contractor Groupe Legendre, who were appointed by BNP Paribas as main contractor for the works.
Northvale Construction Ltd. has been chosen as the Design and Build contractor for the construction of 19 assisted living apartments for the charity Jewish Blind and Disabled. Work has recently started on the site which adjoins the existing assisted living facility, Cecil Rosen Court, in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
The new building is to be connected to the existing Cecil Rosen Court with a glazed link structure at ground level, so the construction team has the challenge of constructing the new building whilst ensuring that the health and safety of the residents of the adjoining facility is not compromised.
Moxley Architects designed the scheme for Jewish Blind and Disabled, and have now been novated to Northvale for the construction phase of the project. Completion is expected in the summer of 2018.
The demolition contract has been completed and now Legendre UK are on site. Major alterations to the 1960s rc frame have started, increasing the size of alternate columns around the facade so that the intermediate columns and beams can be removed.
The structural steel frame for the three storey roof extension is just about to go in to production.

Milestone reached at Furnival House
Published by admin at 11:17 am in Projects on site with No Comments
The structure for the new basement and lower ground floor level at Furnival House is nearing completion.
Work has started to remove the load of the building from the temporary supports and transfer it to the new foundations, which is a substantial 750mm deep raft slab.
A short section of basement retaining wall has been left not built to allow direct access to the basement from the ‘mole hole’ at the southern corner of the site. This provides access for the plant needed for dismantling the temporary works and the removal of the debris created by the removal of the concrete piles that have been supporting the building during the basement construction phase.
The photo shows some of the temporary concrete piles with nothing supported by them. Next phase is to break out the piles to below the level of the basement raft and infill the missing sections of slab.
