Battersea Power Station – Phase One
Maylim has completed the first phase of the major redevelopment of the iconic Battersea Power Station.
Overview
As part of the first phase of the highly anticipated Battersea Power Station redevelopment, Maylim’s remit was split into two key areas – Circus West (at grade/podium) and the level one residential garden.
The scope for Circus West included a complete external package from waterproofing up; deep drainage, ducting and groundworks, reinforced concrete works, two extensive water features, linear drainage, paving, cladding, extensive steps and bespoke metal work risers, supply and installation of all street furniture, tarmac surfaces and resin bonded gravel, road markings, soft landscaping in planter beds and movable planters.
The resident’s garden is a 4000m2 first-floor podium. Works included thermal installation, drainage layers, concrete and permeable pavement build-ups, cedar dividing fencing, gates and walls, clay brick paving and Yorkstone paving, two water features, large landscaping planters, granite cladding and Yorkstone steps.
A project of this size had many logistical challenges, including complex site coordination. Works to Circus West required a scaffold platform in the River Thames and PLO permits. There was also a full-time rescue boat with a crew employed.
