Our team successfully carried out a range of tasks in a grade two listed auditorium. We demolished a four-storey superstructure using a 22-tonne high reach excavator, skillfully navigating the presence of a live substation and nearby retail units. Our responsibilities included piling for the external extension areas, underpinning within the existing auditorium, and constructing ground beams and RC slabs. Additionally, we efficiently completed metal decking, reinforcement, and concrete works for the newly suspended upper floor slabs.
We demolished a six-storey cantilever staircase and installed new staircases using a stairmaster system. Our scope also included constructing a new duplex lift shaft and drainage scheme. Shaca handled glazing, white facing brickwork, blockwork, structural steelwork, and timber floor infills for a two-storey building extension. Additionally, we completed intumescent painting on the new steelwork and designed and installed temporary works for our project.
We extended and refurbished the building, demolishing the existing fifth floor and constructing new fifth and sixth floors and a rear core. We also made internal and external alterations, extended the rear of the building, and completed various tasks, including installing 21 new piles, demolition work, constructing a new basement with underpinning, and implementing temporary works such as façade retention through propping and temporary steelwork. Additionally, we were responsible for timber concrete infills and all builders’ work.
We performed structural alterations in reinforced concrete and grade two listed masonry, including designing and installing temporary works. Our team skillfully matched the facing brickwork to the existing grade two masonry. Moreover, we relocated a 15-tonne grade one listed marble-clad staircase within the building. This process involved designing custom lifting equipment, installing propping, cutting, lifting, lowering the stair flights onto air skates, moving them to the new location, and lifting them into their final position.
