GIND UK is maintaining access equipment at One Thames City, Building N6, on behalf of our client MACE Limited.

This luxury apartment complex boasts exclusive amenities, including dedicated parking, a rooftop pool, and terrace access on each floor.

Challenged by MACE Limited to develop an unconventional façade access solution, our installation partner Integral Cradles delivered a low-level solution for a high-rise building, with the parking height above roof FFL restricted to 750mm and requiring a roof-launched system.

Integral Cradles’ solution comprised a low-level roof trolley and a powered cradle, ingeniously designed to be stored on its back. Additionally, two new lifting davits were installed to safely rig the cradle at roof level, providing a comprehensive and practical access solution for the residential tower.

By collaborating closely with the client and façade access consultant, we have moved forward with an innovative approach that met the unique challenges of this project while ensuring safety and efficiency.
