64 Princes Street
Edinburgh Installed by B&K Solutions
Princes Street, formerly a retail space, was refurbished into a high-end new addition to Edinburgh city centre. The refurbishment would see the building repurposed into a mixed offering of a hotel, office and retail space.
Originally built in the 1960’s, the existing structure had some obstacles to overcome. The refurbishment also added an additional storey to the existing structure creating additional loading challenges on the existing foundations.
Problems Solved with energystore TLA®
Loading challenges to the existing structure
Uneven levels on existing floors
Limited site access
“When it came time to level out the floors it became apparent that conventional screeds would overload the structure and subsequently the foundations and a super lightweight solution would have to be found. This came in the form of energystore TLA®. It provided the lightweight solution we required where no other screed could. The process was quite something to watch and went down easily.”
