Iron Mountain
Unit B Twelvetrees Crescent Bromley by Bow
Following a serious fire in 2006, this 14,000m2 distribution warehouse had to be completely demolished, and is now being rebuilt for reoccupation in a £6.4m project.
Owners Standard Life Investments appointed TFT as project manager and employer’s agent, with a brief to reinstate like with like. However, since the old building had been constructed in 2002, new legislative issues had to be considered to achieve statutory consents.
These included flood risk assessments, which we arranged as required under Planning Policy Statement PPS25 and Sustainable Urban Drainage Design. We also incorporated the Greater London Authority’s requirements for renewable energy, including biomass boilers and solar-powered hot water.
The contract has been let, with completion scheduled for October 2009. The first phase of the works will involve specialist testing of the existing foundations.
