Collins Construction Ltd 📣 “Works are progressing at our £5m London Wall refurbishment where we are managing the heavy footfall on a main public access as one of the project requirements. The team has already deconstructed the old retail unit and removed the steel mezzanine to create additional space for the full-height, radius glass extension, and deliver a spectacular reception space. The public footway will be upgraded alongside improvements to northern and southern escalators, with strict planning for intermittent closures and diversions as dictated by phasing, to allow vital works to take place. With material delivery sharing the same access as people and with limited structural capacity of the podium, the team will implement a just-in-time system to manage space constraints. Working in such high-traffic areas is complex, but the outcome will be a significantly enhanced pedestrian experience, with an upgraded public realm and a more inviting, visually striking environment for all who use it. Watch this space as the journey evolves.” #refurb #fitout
