Greenwich Peninsula, M114/115

Challenge

The project at Greenwich Peninsula M114/115 had various balcony requirements and balcony structures in order to diversify the 400 properties which were arranged in 10 multi-occupancy buildings. There were issues with access from the apartments which meant that the install became out of sequence. It also resulted in a much higher need for health and safety risk accessing.

Solution

We produced the balconies in advance and stored them until required. This was advantageous as the flexibility of supply aided the changing installation sequence. The balconies were transported from storage, on Sapphire’s double stack trailers, minimising transport carbon emissions and costs. Once on-site the innovative counter balance, developed exclusively by Sapphire, allowed balconies to be installed under other balconies so it could work out of sequence and still stay on programme.
