Graham Takes To The Stage At Broadway
Graham has secured its first ever contract with Transport for London (TfL) following the successful award of the ‘55 Broadway Implementation Works project’.
The central London scheme at 55 Broadway, a Grade I listed building overlooking St James’s Park, involves the soft strip out of the existing restaurant kitchen, the demolition of the internal walls, including a vault room, and minor enabling works in line with the 2016 planning consent.
It also consists of the modification of the existing façade at the rear of the building, which requires the removal of the Crittal steel windows and the installation of UKPN approved louvre doors for a new sub-station.
The programme of works has been developed to separate the building’s office complex from the London Underground power supply and operational Underground station. At present, the power supply to the building is derived from the existing London Underground transformers.
The works programme work began in December 2018 and is due to be completed by Spring 2019.
