Wood Wharf Buildings E3/E4
Current Status: Project complete, under maintenance with GIND UK
Building Details:
Wood Wharf E3 E4 is a 52-storey residential tower by KPF architects for developers Canary Wharf Group. The building is a curved pink-clad slanted tower towards South Dock, with an integrated retail and resident’s amenity extending westwards along Charter Street.
Project:
As part of the wider Wood Wharf development at Canary Wharf, Integral Cradles delivered a specialised access solution for Buildings E3/E4, featuring a BMU with 4.8m reach and 320kg auxiliary winch on a curved twin track system. The installation is now complete and under ongoing maintenance with GIND UK
Challenges overcome:
The project presented unique design challenges due to the building’s distinctive bowed elevations, requiring our team to employ detailed model-first design techniques to ensure perfect track alignment with poured concrete hold down units. Our innovative approach successfully avoided potential clashes whilst accommodating the building’s curved architecture.
