PROJ EC T E X AMP L E S
As one of the city’s main railway and underground stations, London Waterloo is the epicentre of thousands of commuter and tourist journeys. The transformation of its commercial offering involved creating more than 20 new retail spaces. Live location Not only did the project have a strict deadline of the shop units being operational before the start of the London 2012 Olympics, the works also needed to be completed in a live and fully operational station. The services infrastructure therefore had to be routed through live offices sitting above the new units and via basement storage and retail. The development involved extensive surveys of existing systems and infrastructure, both to inform the design solutions and establish routes for main infrastructure. Office floor services also had to be diverted to enable new risers to be formed; as part of this process, existing performance was validated to ensure systems were passed back to tenants without any issues. Roof restrictions An interesting challenge also came from positioning new heat rejection plant on the roof of the station. Restrictions on crane positions and road closures meant we had to craft a workable solution. The result of this was to have plant positioned by helicopter during a tight one-hour time slot. Waterloo retail outlets. The best route to solutions.
