Project: Brunel Street Works, Canning Town
Who we work with
The development at Brunel Street in Canning Town represents one of the largest regeneration projects underway in London.
National House Building Council (NHBC) National House Building Council build confidence in the construction quality of new homes by assessing, inspecting and directly insuring new homes registered with them. Glass & Façades Solutions We have been working with Perry and the team for the last five years on projects across the UK and Europe. Scope includes design development, design reviews, compliance reviews, technical reports and site inspections. This is to provide our clients assurance that they have an independent façade consultant reviewing their design and installation and providing support where required. Our Supply Chain Our supply chain includes many reliable partners across the manufacturing, distribution, logistics and access such as Siderise, Rockwool and Hilti, and we are always looking to expand upon this with experienced industry partners.
We have built strong partnerships and long-standing relationships with our supply chain and wider industry bodies to strengthen our knowledge pool and expertise and deliver the best possible result to our clients. We can call upon a vast knowledge pool which includes some of the industry leaders in façade and fire consultancy, and we work closely with a number of excellent testing facilities and industry bodies, including: Efectis Efectis is a global player in fire science and covers all fire safety expertise in testing and modelling, certification, inspection, education and expertise. We work with Efectis on our fire safety tests at its facilities across the UK. Element Group Element’s experts conduct cladding and façade testing services to help meet building requirements and ensure the safety of the buildings’ occupants. We have worked with Element Group at their testing facility in the middle east.
These striking buildings adjacent to Canning Town Station will transform the skyline in this part of the capital and provide 975 mixed tenure homes along with commercial and retail space and a Premier Inn Hotel.
Partnerships since late 2017 on the scheme, providing early design, budgeting and programming of the façade system as well as install and access requirements.
Errigal have also carried out BS8414 testing of proposed cladding systems.

Our Approach: The scope of works is varied and challenging and is a real testament to Errigal’s capabilities and knowledge in delivering excellent quality across all through-wall solutions. The Errigal team overcame a number of challenges on this project. Logistical restrictions required careful coordination on the delivery of materials, whilst planning requirements needed
to be met whilst still delivering on the required fire and weather performance necessities. The proximity of the apartments to the flight paths of London City Airport required acoustic parameters to be implemented. The apartments were also in short distance to the London Underground, which meant that communication and comprehensive forward planning was crucial to facilitate the works without interrupting schedules.
The Errigal team worked on a live site where residents had moved into apartments whilst others were still under construction. This has meant keeping lines open with residents and being considerate to those who are at home more than often during a pandemic and therefore exposed to more disruption.
