Overview

FIRMA collaborated with the designer, developer and main contractor to deliver a sizeable windpost package for Parklife, a 5-storey office building overlooking the Grade II listed Wandsworth Park in Putney, London. This 40,000 sq ft vacant office building has been converted into a high-quality 80,000 sq ft urban workplace.

Project detail

FIRMA's sister company, BA Systems, secured the project for its frameless B40 balustrade system.

FIRMA was then instructed to offer a complete windpost system for the building's façade. The company's meticulous design phase encompassed a comprehensive structural analysis, including structural calculations, specifying windpost locations, and the submission of a fully-detailed drawings package.

To ensure seamless construction progress, the windposts were delivered to the site in a careful delivery sequence, aligned with each stage of construction. This 'just in time' approach to deliveries ensured the product was onsite when needed but didn’t take up valuable storage space on site.

In a commitment to enhance on-site efficiency, FIRMA bundled all necessary fixings and spacers with the supplied products. This comprehensive package helped to expedite the overall installation process.
