Livingstone House
July 7, 2009
| Contract | Livingstone House, Wyndham Rd SE5 |
| Client | London Borough Of Southwark |
| Main Contractor | Albert Soden Ltd |
Description:
This contract involved the complete re-roofing of all sections of Livingstone House whilst at the same time allowing a full external refurbishment of the block. To ensure that the tenants could remain in residence the Client decided to provide a full scaffold that would incorporate a temporary roof. In discussions with the Main Contractor, Admiral suggested the use of a lightweight Haki temporary roof system. (For more details of this type of scaffold please refer to our specialist page.)
The roof proved challenging because it had to cover four sections of Livingstone House, each of which abutted at right angles a roof of a different height. Admiral designed a scheme which allowed for spine beams to bridge the lower roofs allowing the abutment to be made watertight.
