The Brief
Glass Structures Limited had been advising on the scheme for some months, helping guide and develop the detail to where we were appointed to the project.
Our
Approach
Glass Structures Limited attended site with our 3D surveying kit to survey our prepared steel to provide our suppliers with CAD drawings to manufacture the glass to.

Having all of the glass made within 3 days our logistics team organised delivery to site, enabling us transport the glass through congested areas of Oxford Street
The use of pant to install the glass was not an option due to the curves in the glass and the position. Our fully trained glazing team had a real task at hand having to manually handle the glass through the staircase and scaffolding to install.
