Verdo Kew Bridge is part of Brentford's far-reaching regeneration project. Verdo Kew Bridge is the newest EcoWorld London project with a design by JTP Architects. This project consists of three "brownfield" plots in Brentford (TW8), situated alongside Kew Bridge train station. The project comprises new residences, the newest Brentford Community Stadium with capacity for 17,250 people and a mixture of shops, restaurants, cafés and public spaces.
3. Byldis contribution to this project
We completed the masonry and sandwich facade elements for three towers. These elements were fully equipped with aluminum window frames and glass. Additionally, we produced and supplied the interior walls, stairs, landings, and prefabricated floors. The three buildings have 9, 13, and 14 floors respectively. The project covers a total of approximately 20,000 square meters of floor space.
3. Why was Byldis chosen?
An important reason for the customer to choose Byldis, was the total concept we offer (Engineering, Prefab and Facades). Our total concept saves a lot of time for the commissioner and makes it possible to achieve the project faster and more efficiently. The Byldis total concept also delivers more security when compared to traditional construction methods, with less influence from unexpected knock-backs such as the weather, for example.
The construction site for this project is directly alongside a busy railway that must remain operational during the construction period. Working in this location is not standard, and strict regulations must be adhered to in order to make it possible to hoist the elements. Byldis has a clearly structured and controlled construction process, including a fixed number of crane lifts. There is also a clear plan detailing when the activities will be carried out. This means that scaffolds do not have to be built, when compared to traditional construction methods.
4. Challenges & solutions
Building regulations in London have changed in recent years. For this project, we had to develop a new solution for our working method that would meet these regulations and achieve NHBC approval. NHBC provides a guarantee and security to the future homeowners and also puts demands on the performance levels. Byldis meets all these requirements.
