Installation at Eagle House London
Description: The refurbishment of Eagle House, a locally listed building, to provide residential units above commercial units on the ground and first floors, with a health and fitness club in the basement. A new landmark residential tower in an appropriate urban location acting as a gateway building along an important urban axis.
Client/Main Contractor: McCabe Builders (UK) Ltd
Value of Project: €58 million
Architect: Hunter & Partners
Engineer: Curtin’s
Towards the end of 2010 we signed contracts with McCabe Builders (UK) Ltd. to supply the vertical transportation for Eagle House re-development. On completion of this project, we will have fitted three tower lifts serving 28 floors (2 x 10 Person/800Kg lifts & 1 x 13 Person/1000Kg lift). All three lifts are top drive traction units with a cabin speed of 2.5 m/s. One of the lifts will also serve as a full fire fighting passenger lift. As part of this project we are providing two car/vehicle lifts (capacity 4,500Kg hydraulic units) to transport cars/vehicles from street level to the underground basement car park. Elsewhere in the building we are installing a residential lift for social housing flats over nine floors, an external glazed podium lift and the waste removal bins lift over three basement floors. Work is scheduled to commence late 2011.
