Section benders supply
400 beams to London project
THE innovative Moorgate development
in London, UK, will provide contemporary
office, residential and retail space.
The property, located within the Bank
Conservation Area, will be a new
eight-storey building behind a retained
Victorian façade.
Allies and Morrison Architects,
who have drawn up the plans for the
development, commented on the
project: “Designed to integrate happily
within the character of the surrounding
area, the development occupies a city
block of approximately 2,060m2, which
will be consolidated into a single unified
building. The facades of 8-10 Moorgate
and 17 and 16TokenhouseYard are to be
retained, refurbished and incorporated
into the scheme. The Moorgate façade
will form the principle frontage and
entrance to the office building, while 17
Tokenhouse Yard will contain a number
of small residential units.”
The modern extension of
the building was developed
by Waterman and William
Hare structural engineers, who
contracted Barnshaw Section
Benders to supply bends for
the project.
Barnshaw provided 400
beams, the largest of which
was 610x305x179 UB.
Altogether the beams weighed
360 tonnes, and formed the
structure of the Moorgate
building. The company
managed to deliver the curved
material very quickly – it took
the benders only ten weeks.
Established in1969,BarnshawSection
Benders is based at six manufacturing
sites around the UK, located in the West
Midlands; Manchester; and Hamilton,
Scotland. Across these sites over 120
specialist machines are housed, which
have provided steel bending services for
some of the country’s largest projects.
