Main Contractor: Multiplex
Project
Completed in 2021, Marble Arch Place is a prominent mixed development consisting of two buildings, in the West End, at the meeting point of Oxford Street, Mayfair and Hyde Park. The residential tower has 54 apartments and is 18 storey’s high, with the commercial building providing 95,000 sq ft of office space over 7 storeys.
Challenge
Each building has a single Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) mounted on the roof, to conduct cleaning and light maintenance tasks. Due to the terrace sizes on the residential tower, diversion trolleys were required to reduce the length of the BMU jib and subsequent loading on the building.
