105 Victoria Street
Current Status: Project complete, under maintenance with GIND UK
Building Details:
105 Victoria Street is a landmark development comprising 470,000 square feet of premium commercial office space across sixteen floors, complemented by ground floor retail units.
Integral Cradles was originally appointed by Skanska to provide façade access equipment for the development, with the order subsequently extended to include the building’s market hall doors. The scope of works comprises:
- 1No. traversing BMU with 11m reach and an auxiliary winch, providing additional lifting capability for maintenance tasks and flexible access to all areas of the façade
- 3No. market hall doors on the ground floor Village Square, each just under 9m wide with an opening of approximately 3.5m. The vertical opening design maximises space within the Square, part of which is set aside for independent and local Westminster brands and includes a farm-to-fork restaurant supplied by the building’s fifteenth-floor urban farm
Challenges Overcome:
The project presented significant design challenges due to a highly constrained roof space and restricted BMU travel corridor. By adopting a model-first design approach, Integral Cradles identified and resolved potential issues during the design phase, ensuring a seamless installation. The scope later grew beyond the original façade access contract to include a bespoke solution for the market hall doors, demonstrating the flexibility of Integral Cradles’ design and engineering teams to work beyond traditional BMU installations
