130 Old Street

The Solution

Forcia started the project by resolving several complicated factors, helping to drive efficiencies and reduce the need for major temporary works. The new extension creates 3,000 sq m of extra floorspace, while the façade will be refreshed and enlivened with brick and saw-tooth profiled wet cast stone panels.

The Challenge

Forcia is delivering significant structural alterations to this concrete encased building, with a six-storey steel extension to the rear as well as two floors on top. Followed by full remodelling and recladding of its façade, requiring a complex jacking sequence. The project also entails the formation of a UKPN substation.
