Network Rail Puddle Dock, London

With 110,000 sq ft of space directly adjacent to a major transport link at Blackfriars Station and served by Thames Link and London Underground, this was a challenging project that required a great deal of collaborative and innovative thinking. With public access from the station to the adjoining Mermaid Theatre, extensive liaison with both Network Rail and London Underground was constantly required. Works comprised the replacement of existing mechanical & electrical installations through 5 new main risers over 6 floors and 2 existing risers with structural alterations, New lift installation within the existing lift cores, Exposed concrete soffits and ceiling services with low level perimeter FCUs and Strengthening to 7 lift pit floors with the installation of large steel beams below the pits.
