Two key areas in the £8 billion Battersea Power Station regeneration, has been won by Prater for roofing and facade works.

Work began on site at the end of last year with Prater appointed by Carillion to carry out Phase 1 works comprising blocks RS-1A and RS-1B – two ancillary buildings on the Battersea Power Station site.

The specialist contractor will provide copper cladding, glazing and structural waterproofing to RS-1B, followed by a bespoke glazing system and traditional zinc cladding to the Penthouse Lanterns of RS-1A. Prater will also apply glazed balustrades and primary and secondary steelwork to both buildings.

Once completed, the redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station site will have mixed-use development of over 3,500 new homes, along with a variety of retail stores, restaurants and bars, six-acre park and community theatre with views of the internal courtyard and rooftop gardens as well as the Thames.

“At the heart of the project is the desire to preserve as much of the site’s heritage as possible, so we are working closely with our project partners to create a modern mixed-use development, while retaining the design characteristics of the original site,” explained Stuart Whiting, Associate Director, Prater.
