Mace Group appoints two for London Bridge Shard steel contract

13/05/2009

Mace Group is delighted to confirm that both Cleveland Bridge UK and Severfield-Reeve Structures have been appointed to deliver the steelwork contract for the Shard at London Bridge Quarter. In a move that uses the best of the UK steel manufacturing and erection industry, Mace Group has appointed both specialist contractors to the project this month.

Cleveland Bridge UK will design, fabricate and deliver the plunge columns and associate steelwork for the basement to ground floor of the building, Severfield-Reeve Structures will design, fabricate and deliver the steel frame to the tower from the ground level up, with the best resources from both parties maintaining extremely close collaboration during the delivery of the whole tower.

Gareth Lewis, Mace Group director responsible for construction services commented: "We took the decision to appoint both Cleveland Bridge UK and Severfield-Reeve Structures in order to build upon the excellent progress made to date on the project and to optimise our delivery solution."

The Shard forms the first phase of the £2bn Renzo Piano-designed London Bridge Quarter regeneration project, which also includes redevelopment of the London Bridge Station concourse and development of London Bridge Place, a landmark 17-storey corporate headquarters. The London Bridge Quarter comprises approximately 2m sq ft of office, hotel, residential, retail and leisure accommodation. Site demolition for The Shard has been completed and test piling is currently underway.
