Bridge House
Client: Allianz Partners
Contractor: NACWL
Sector: Commercial
Location: Croydon
Opportunity:
NACWL Special Projects division were appointed as principal contractor by Allianz Partners to provide a turn-key service for the facade refurbishment of their head office in Croydon.
Proposal:
After an intrusive survey and prototype bay study NACWL established a scope to refurbish the facade within our clients budget and required program dates, installing 5,500 linear metres of Schueco FW60 curtain wall system to 9 floors, improving the aesthetics of the building and the weather integrity of the facade.
We managed all the trades while working closely with the client to successfully deliver the works in a live office environment. Due to the proximity to live rail we coordinated with Network Rail, gaining the required engineering checks, approvals and paperwork to enable works to progress. We undertook surveys, concrete core samples and laboratory testing to prove suitability of the existing structure for our access equipment. Delivering fortnightly safety inspection reports carried out by our in-house H&S manager.
‘We were extremely satisfied with NACWL’s role as Principal Contractor for this project and would highly recommend them for similar works and future projects. We found them to be professional and approachable with competent staff at every level. Their workmanship was of a high quality which was inspected and signed off by our independent facade consultant with zero defects at the projects completion. NACWL were very easy to deal with and communication throughout the project was excellent, delivering the refurbishment on time and within budget’
