20 Fenchurch Street
‘Walkie-Talkie’Tower at 20 Fenchurch Street.
Includes construction of a viewing deck and sky
gardens that when finished will become London’s
highest park.
The scaffolding works started from the south side
of the building, overlooking the Thames, and
progressed northward. Lateral support towers were
installed to both East andWest flanks of the 35th
floor to support the steel fins.
The project was a complex and unique challenge
for Brogan Group providing a specialist design
for what is claimed as ‘the building with more up
top’. The specialised roof Fin structure required
extensive support scaffold structures to be built
overlooking the Thames some 150m above ground
level.
“Brogan have a very productive
approach to working safely on a
high rise building in the city of
london with a slab edge that is at
the limit of the site boundry at a
very high level”
