Deconstruct UK case study for the commercial sector.
Client: Shaftsbury PLCLocation: Carnaby Street, London, W1
Contractor: Deconstruct UK LtdCompletion Date: December 2010
Sector: Commercial
About the Project:
Carnaby Street redevelopment of 1950’s structure to provide new commercial and retail space to prime location.
This project on the busy pedestrianised Carnaby Street in London. This presented numerous logistical issues, not least of all supplying materials to and from site.
The site had suffered bomb damage during WW2 and required extensive underpinning and ‘King Post Walling’ to retain the roadway (Carnaby St).
Demolition works adjoined grade two listed structures with temporary support and therefore, had to be very versatile to accommodate the anomalies of structures from this era.
The works had to be coordinated into the bespoke restrictions working on the Carnaby Estate.
Project Challenges:
Major challenges included designing temporary works to avoid permanent structures during early design stages which required fluid dialogue with the design team.
Demolishing structures on a very busy pedestrian street and considering the impactof noise and vibration for adjoining businesseswere key requirements for the client.
Ensuring the substructures were formed precisely for the construction phase of the project were also vitally important. Blenheim House followed us onto site and commented on the level of quality they inherited.
