Tubular Techniques has completed design plans for the old Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre in London.
After many years of service, the old shopping centre and Coronet Theatre is now looking very outdated with the whole of the Elephant and Castle area being refurbished with modern shops and apartment blocks the old shopping centre of the sixties is now scheduled for demolition.
Tubular Techniques was instructed by the appointed Scaffolding Contractor Alandale Plant and Scaffolding Ltd to provide the designs and relevant paperwork to accompany the designs.
All of the designs on the project have been under close scrutiny by third party checkers to ensure safety at all times on the project. Tubular Techniques provided designs for all of the access scaffold required for the demolition of The Coronet Theatre, the main Shopping Centre and the eye catching 11 storey Office Block Hannibal House dealing with both Network Rail, and London Underground both of which are present on the site.
A spokesperson from Tubular Techniques said: "Hannibal house was designed in such a way that demolition of the lower surrounding shopping centre could be demolished around the tower block whilst the scaffold could still progress above. This was a challenging but worthwhile project which will change the face of South London."
