Pendock metal casings – Project insights T
he decorative, durable and weather resistant properties of metal casing solutions have long been recognised
as key attributes by architects and specifi ers, together with their inherent versatility. Within the extensive range of decorative architectural casings manufactured by Telford based specialist,
Pendock, products. The illustrate how the
following company’s
its
column casings, building linings and services casings all feature aluminium and stainless steel
projects bespoke
manufactured metal casings are being used in three diverse applications.
UCL East Campus University College London’s East Campus at One Pool Street on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford is using brushed stainless steel column casings to conceal structural steelwork. Designed by architects, Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands (LDS), the building is constructed around two towers of 13 and 17 storeys. A total of 12 column casings are installed in groups of three at four external locations, on the third level of each tower, in areas that function as covered, open-air student relaxation and break out spaces. Each column casing is 775 mm in diameter to accommodate the building’s structural supports, and range in height from 3,215 mm to 3,370 mm. As the column casings are exposed to the elements, their stainless steel construction provides a weather resistant, virtually maintenance free and highly durable solution.
UCL East Campus
Phoenix Point – London, Thamesmead C-shaped and L-shaped aluminium casings from the Pendock Profi les range are being used to conceal heating pipework, electrical cabling and ventilation ducting at Phoenix Point in Thamesmead, as part of an extensive refurbishment and upgrade programme of fl ats located within the eight-storey cylindrical building.
Originally built in
2008 on the site of a boiler house used for a community heating scheme, Phoenix Point’s circular structure provides a mix of one and two-bedroom fl ats. The
Pendock casings are bespoke
manufactured to match the form of the building and are located below the walkway on each tier. Incorporating a white PPC fi nish, the casings not only conceal building services, but also act as a mounting point for lighting outside each fl at.
St James House – Telford
The transformation and repurposing of a former HMRC building (St James House) into new serviced offi ces in Telford, Shropshire, includes bespoke manufactured aluminium parapet capping from the Pendock Linea building linings range.
Manufactured from weather resistant
2 mm thick aluminium, the parapet cappings also incorporate a slate grey PPC fi nish to blend in with the existing column casings. The building’s main entrance has also been given a facelift with a new canopy incorporating bespoke metal bulkheads and fascias,
also from the Pendock Linea range.
