Integral Cradles, a leading provider of façade access solutions, has announced that its Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) at the prestigious 1 Leadenhall Street development are now in beneficial use following successful installation, testing, and commissioning.
The iconic London skyscraper, which is under final part of construction by Multiplex, is now utilising the bespoke access equipment to complete vital façade snagging and glass replacement work as the project progresses toward completion.
Integral Cradles has a long-standing history of delivering complex façade access solutions for some of London’s most notable buildings. The 1 Leadenhall Street project adds another landmark to the company’s impressive portfolio, which already includes The Leadenhall Building, 52 Lime Street (The Scalpel), and One Blackfriars Tower.
Kevin Walton, Managing Director of Integral Cradles and GIND UK, commented on the milestone:
“We are delighted to see our BMUs at 1 Leadenhall Street now in beneficial use by our valued client Multiplex. This achievement highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality, bespoke façade access solutions that enable the safe and efficient maintenance of London’s most iconic buildings. Our collaborative approach throughout the design, installation, and commissioning process ensures we provide systems that meet the specific needs of each unique structure.”
The ongoing maintenance of the BMUs will be handled by GIND UK, Integral Cradles’ dedicated maintenance partner. This collaborative approach provides clients with comprehensive support throughout the entire building lifecycle, from initial concept through to end-of-life.
The 1 Leadenhall Street development, situated in the heart of London’s financial district, is a striking addition to the capital’s skyline. The building’s distinctive design required a tailored approach to façade access, showcasing Integral Cradles’ expertise in engineering innovative solutions for complex architectural challenges.
This latest project success follows a busy period for both Integral Cradles and GIND UK, with the companies securing several high-profile contracts in recent months, including façade access equipment for One Exchange Square and maintenance services for HSBC’s portfolio through JLL.
