A complete rework of a postmodern office building (60 London Wall), situated in the heart of the City of London. The project aim was to extensively refurbish, reconfigure, reinvent and reposition the building. The objective was to strip back the building to its frame and re-core to provide efficient high quality modern workplace accommodation with a prime retail offering at ground floor level.
The lightweight concrete mix design LC30/33 D2.0 at a density of 1850kg/m3, containing structural lightweight aggregates was pumped 60 metres (12 storeys) vertically on to the new composite deck floors. The use of lightweight concrete reduced the load by 30% which minimised the need for under pinning the existing frame and structures. The construction programme time was significantly reduced by using Toplight C which insured completion of the work was done in the shortest time possible for this 32,000m2 prime City of London office space.
