It will be responsible for soft-strip, structural demolition, façade removal, enabling and structural strengthening works to the 1980’s steel frame building.

Among the complex demolition works to be undertaken by McGee includes the removal of two storeys from the 62m tall building, above the 11th floor slab while keeping the current floor slab intact.

McGee claimed that this project has the complexity of ensuring navigation of the UKPN assets, and therefore required its specialist team to interact with several local stakeholders whilst developing a bespoke temporary works scheme to complement the structure of the current building.
