GRP Riser Flooring & Installation: Shard Place, London

Shard Place is the third phase of the £3.5 billion redevelopment of the estate next to London Bridge station, known as Shard Quarter. When completed in late 2020, Shard Place will provide a range of flats alongside amenities including a cinema, spa, and private roof garden. Reinforced concrete frame and groundwork specialists Getjar were appointed as the formwork contractor by the principal contractor Mace and chose the Dura Composites Riser Install team to take on some of the complex install challenges of the service risers. Prior to the appointment of Dura Composites, Getjar had been installing GRP into a number of voids, but selected Dura to provide specialist installation support to address the service cut outs required for the M&E phase. Dura’s unrivaled expertise and full install capabilities meant they could deliver a bespoke solution for a large triangular shaped riser on all 26 storeys allow for cutouts to be performed whilst maintaining the integrity of the risers.
