SIR SIMON MILTON - WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY TECHNICAL COLLEGE

THE DETAILS:

Client: City of Westminster

Contractor: Bouygues UK

Location: Ebury Bridge, London

Duration: 52 weeks

Value: £500k

THE BRIEF:

We received the brief to design, fabricate, finish and install architectural metalwork, secondary metalwork and security fencing for the new, Sir Simon Milton Westminster University Technical College. 

The former Ebury Bridge Centre was designed by award-winning architect Sheppard Robson, and our work saw us completing a project that housed an 11-storey residential tower with 47 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a new 56,000 sq. University Technical College (UTC) on the half-acre site. In addition, it has 23 secure, underground car parking spaces.

The project included us designing and installing:

  • Inset balconies
  • Secondary steelwork
  • SBD grilles and louvers
  • Security fencing
  • Automated gates
 

THE CHALLENGE:

This was a project with a really tight deadline, which was made more of a challenge due to the constricted access backing onto mainline railway at Ebury Bridge, which made access, parking and offloading difficult. This made it crucial to coordinate with all other trades to secure time slots.

We had to use all our years’ of experience and expertise to make sure milestones were met on time, within budget and safely.

 

THE SOLUTION:

We met the design brief which included attending weekly site coordination meetings to ensure safe delivery of the:

  • Design, manufacture and installation of stainless steel post and glass inset balustrades to the residential block.
  • Installation of structural steelwork to the feature staircase within UTC.
  • Installation of 200 meters of 3 meters and 2.4 meter high, 358 PPC finished security fencing and gates.
  • Supply and installation one security speedgate with access control and safety features.
  • SBD metal grilles and Louvers.
