The overcladding transformation of the iconic GRH building is halfway to being completed and is compliant, on time, and on budget with minimal disruption.
Our collaborative, holistic ‘concept to completion’ approach has ensured all facets were resolved at theprecommencement stage, to effectively de-risk the project, ensuring a positive, fully compliant, outcome.
Overcladding occupied buildings is highly complex and specialist. The project’s success is dependent upon getting the design right from the outset. At design build facades we take a holistic approach, considering the many inter-related facets to develop a bespoke solution. These include developing the right access methodology to enable smooth project delivery.
The tower block at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital is a complicated structure. Each elevation has protruding ledges originally built as a means for workers to clean the windows. This presented particular challenges when designing access as the installation team needed to deal with different vertical planes – the protruding ledges as well as the inward elevational surfaces.
