The process of designing the connections for the new steelwork started with confirming the ability of the existing reinforced concrete structure to carry the additional loads. If a bar is encountered, it is possible to reposition the hole and re-drill, without having permanently weakened the existing structure. h�b``g``�g �>UT��, �b�P��(�����:�5�(M9Vta얽�&޿w �c�/��CR�=�� 7iB ��6����!|F� ; Archive material included the as-built GAs, sections and reinforcement drawings which showed the bar sizes and position of laps. St. Thomas' Hospital, East Wing is a 13-story high-rise building in London, England, United Kingdom. The new steel structures at the second floor of the atria involved the transfer of loads of up to 1 MN to the lift shaft and stair well and required through-bolts. Formed with a series of 600mm × 400mm jumbo box sections they have been installed at second floor level above a triple height basement. ? Fraser Tanner, ISG Senior Project Manager explains. Actually getting materials on site has been one of the main challenges for the construction team. https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317570-Medium-top-view-from-albert-embankment.jpg, https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317570-Large-top-view-from-albert-embankment.jpg, top-view-of-the-top-from-lambeth-palace-road, https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317571-Medium-top-view-of-the-top-from-lambeth-palace-road.jpg, https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317571-Large-top-view-of-the-top-from-lambeth-palace-road.jpg, top-view-of-the-top-from-outside-the-entrance, https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317572-Medium-top-view-of-the-top-from-outside-the-entrance.jpg, https://www.emporis.com/images/show/317572-Large-top-view-of-the-top-from-outside-the-entrance.jpg. Using structural steelwork for this project has been advantageous as the tower crane can lift most of the elements straight into position so they can be erected immediately upon arrival, and by prefabricating some steel elements the team has reduced the amount of on-site work and the possibility of unwanted noise. “We fabricated, delivered and installed the shaft in two-storey high modules which were light enough for the tower crane to lift into position before they were bolted into place,” explains Kevin Clarke, Bourne Steel Divisional Director.

The hospital was fully operational during the works so, to accommodate this, most connections were designed to be fixed from the outside. For heavier loads, the connections were designed with fixings bolted through the concrete. When downloading images you may be subject to other costs from your internet service provider.

Sustainability and environmental performance are also key aspects of the ISG and Hopkins Architects solution, and the re-clad design incorporates a range of passive controls to maintain comfortable ambient temperatures within the building. Brackets can be designed with slotted holes or multiple holes to provide alternative bolt positions. Originally established in the Middle Ages on a site near London Bridge, it has a long and distinguished history and today St Thomas’ is a world renowned teaching hospital. Bourne Steel has erected a new roof with a series of 15m long rafters that cantilever out by 2.5m.

To overcome the access problem ISG set up a tower crane adjacent to the East Wing to undertake a lot of the lifting, with no room on site for any other cranes.

In order to remedy the situation the structure is being reclad with steel and glass. The trusses have to support ten levels of atria and are consequently formed from large 400mm × 400mm box sections. Supporting the floors are CHS columns and one feature Y-shaped column at the front that also supports the atria glazing.

Official information from NHS about St Thomas' including contact details, directions, opening hours and service/treatment details The project includes the installation of new rooftop steelwork that will support glazing on the western façade (overlooking the Houses of Parliament), while further additions of structural steelwork will infill the T-shaped building with two atria creating an on-plan half diamond-shaped structure. The 2010 competition was won by a team comprising of ISG and Hopkins Architects, who have since worked closely with Arup to develop their plans for the building. A special bracket was then made from the template. Where the reinforcement position was not within the allowance, holes were drilled and a template made.

The East Wing project was procured via a high profile RIBA competition to select an architect and main contractor team that could transform the poorly performing building with a modern cladding solution to enhance its environmental performance, upgrade facilities for patients and staff, and dramatically improve the building’s aesthetics on the capital’s skyline. The front of the grillage is glazed forming a new bright and watertight façade. A 1.2m deep truss in each atria supports the cantilevers via bolted connections to the existing East Wing structure. 10 0 obj <> endobj The appearance of the current site has changed a lot over the years, as many of the original Victorian wards were destroyed during the Second World War and a number of new structures were added in the 1950s and 60s. These elevations will now be essentially interiors, inside the new atria or protected from the elements by the western façade. The St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital is located at 189 Elm Street, between Wood Street and Hepburn Avenue.

The arrangement of this type of bracket should be such that adjustment can be made to the position of the bolts to accommodate reinforcement. One of these more recent additions is the concrete framed 13-storey East Wing tower, a building opened in the early 1960s and unfortunately blighted by water penetration for most of its lifetime. From these rafters a lightweight steel grillage supporting maintenance balconies for each floor is hung via stainless steel tie rods. This strategy proved to be successful in most cases. Paid parking is available in the East Lot (P1) off both Wood Street and Elm Street, the South Lot (P2) off Wood Street, and the Emergency Lot off Hepburn Ave..

The East Wing building at St Thomas’ Hospital has historically been blighted by water ingress. Lighter loads such as those for the west façade were transferred to the existing concrete using face-fixed connections. Prior to installing the lift shaft, Bourne Steel erected the floor steelwork for the two atria. Brought to site in three sections, these trusses were welded on site before being lifted into place and fixed to the existing building via bolted connections. Author: Michael Created Date: As far as helping to keep the hospital facilities working as normally as possible ISG has a number of ongoing strategies. The atria roofs will be constructed from ETFE cushions in a rhomboid configuration to shade direct sunlight from the south, while permitting softer indirect light from the north to naturally illuminate the internal space.
