Integral Cradles, one of the industry’s leading access equipment installation specialists, has started installation at the redevelopment of London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre.
The works, which are taking place at the Olympia’s Emberton House and G Gate, comprises of a manual gantry installation, monorail tracks including powered cradle, and a BMU on a short twin track.
Discussing the project, Integral Cradles managing director Kevin Walton said:
“We’re pleased to start the installation at the redeveloped London Olympia. The first stage has been completed. During the manual gantry installation, our team carefully managed the low headroom requirements and sloped atrium glazed roof to ensure the works were carried out safely and without comprising the building. We look forward to delivering the rest of the equipment in what is a complex work scope to the satisfaction of our client Laing O’Rourke.”
Olympia London is Central London’s only major exhibition centre and has a tremendous 130-year history as one of the world’s leading exhibition, entertainment and cultural centres.
The work to create Future Olympia is being delivered by Laing O’Rourke and includes the redevelopment of the existing listed exhibition halls – the Grand Hall and the National Hall – and the creation of new offices, a four-screen cinema, a 4,000-seat music venue, a 1,500-seat theatre, two new hotels, new retail outlets and public realm space.
