Barnshaws supplies tighter bends to Park House development

Severfield Watson Structures have taken on a wonderful job- Park House development that required Barnshaws’ bending expertise.

The development is set to be a spectacular eight-storey office space with only six internal columns, creating City-standard spaces, including two upper floors underneath the curved glass roof. This most sought-after commercial location will also include eleven retail units that feature shop fronts twice the average height for the area. In addition, there will be luxurious residential apartments with their own entrance.

Barnshaw Section Benders were awarded the job due to excellent quality supplied to the contractors in the past and also as the bends were processed tighter than competitors could offer. Barnshaws supplied the development with 138 pieces of various curving, largest of which were:

457x191x98 Universal Beam,

660x32 Circular Hollow Section,

305x305x97 Universal Column, and

450x250x16 Rectangular Hollow Section.

Barnshaws is known to offer exceptional service: tighter and better quality bends, faster than competitors, innovative and collaborative when it comes to getting invested in the project and advising clients on what is most effective.

When historic meets modern: Moorgate building redevelopment

A recent innovative Moorgate development in London will provide contemporary office, residential and retail space. The property located within the Bank Conservation Area will be the new eight-storey building behind a retained Victorian façade.

Allies and Morrison Architects that have drawn up the plans for the development have commented on the project saying ‘Designed to integrate happily within the character of the surrounding area, the development occupies a city block of approximately 2,060 sq m which will be consolidated into a single unified building. The facades of 8-10 Moorgate and 17 and 16 Tokenhouse Yard are to be retained, refurbished and incorporated into the scheme. The Moorgate facade will form the principle frontage and entrance to the office building, while 17 Tokenhouse Yard will contain a number of small residential units.’

The modern extension of the building was developed by Waterman and William Hare structural engineers, which have contracted Barnshaw Section Benders to supply quality bends for the project.

Barnshaws benders provided 400 beams, largest of which was 610x305x179 UB. Altogether the beams weighed 360 tonnes and formed the structure of the Moorgate building. Barnshaws managed to deliver the curved material very quickly, it only took the benders 10 weeks.
