Glass Lift steelwork and associated steels

admin

Since Novemeber last year i've been welding the steel work for the PWC Redevelopment in London, they are for the different Floor levels and the 220mm steel tubes for the Glass Lifts which go inside the Atrium.The redevelopment is to be undertaken in two stages, with PwC staff remaining in part occupation throughout the redevelopment works. The redevelopment is due to complete in August 20131 Embankment Place is owned by the Sultan of Brunei and the 12-storey London icon accommodates 4,000 PwC staff across12 floors, providing a total of 346,000 sq ft of West End office space. The complete work is costing in the region of 40 million Pounds.Prior to lift shaft being constructed a there have been a large amount of works carried out to the existing structure to provide additional strength to allow for the additional loads.The lift shaft has been built from top down starting with a complex truss arrangement, the steel shaft then runs through the atrium of the building which is still holds 2,500 occupants while the works are in progress.This truss was been part fabricated in sections to allow for restricted deliveries via the goods lift. The second part of the fabrication has been carried out on site fully welding the sections together to form the structure.Following on from the truss the lift shaft is made up of vertical circular hollow steel sections with steel frames tying back into the structure at each level. On alternate levels a new slab is formed extending out to the new lift shaft.Welding the Steelwork at the workshopYou can see the scale of the project in this You Tube Video, The first 15 secs are the wrong way up but after that you can just about make out the  tubes of the lifts in amongst all the scaffolding
