Integral Cradles secures contract for Citi Tower Refurbishment

Integral Cradles has been awarded a contract by FM provider Overbury to provide a new long-reach single jib lifting crane for the refurbishment of Citi Tower in Canary Wharf. The crane will be installed on the existing BMU track system at level 44 of the 42-story building.

The new long-reach single jib lifting crane will play a crucial role in the refurbishment process, providing efficient and safe access to various areas of the building. Integral Cradles’ expertise in access solutions will ensure that the project is completed on time and to the highest standards.

The refurbishment of Citi Tower is a major milestone in the redevelopment of Canary Wharf. By choosing to refurbish rather than demolish the existing structure, Citi is expected to save an estimated 100,000 tonnes of embodied carbon. This move supports the company’s commitment to sustainability and creating a more environmentally friendly workplace.

Kevin Walton, Managing Director of Integral Cradles, said: “We are delighted to be involved in such a prestigious project as the refurbishment of Citi Tower. Our team will work to deliver an innovative and reliable lifting solution that meets the highest standards of safety and efficiency. We look forward to contributing to the transformation of this iconic Canary Wharf landmark.”

Upon completion, the refurbished Citi Tower will boast a stunning new interior, incorporating the latest technology and sustainable design features. Flexible workspaces, collaboration areas, and well-being zones will create a dynamic and inspiring environment for employees. Construction work on the refurbished tower is set to be completed in 2025.
