40 Marsh Wall London
London, Great Britain
A new Novotel hotel building will be a feature of London's ever-expanding skyline. Visible from afar, the prominent surfaces of the protection screen Xclimb 60 have already been put to good use advertising the hotel during construction.
Challenge, residential building:
- strict safety requirements at slab edges
- tight schedule and short cycle times specified for core and floor
- branding for targeted product communication
Customer benefits & solution:
- best-possible access to floor stop-ends inside gapless enclosure consisting of a protection screen with built-in upper working platform
- fast, crane-independent repositioning of core formwork and protection screen by hydraulic assistance
- high-profile advertising for both contractor and future hotel operator because the enclosure is ideal as eye-catchingly prominent advertising space
