TALL BUILDINGS CONFERENCE

WELCOME TO THE TALL BUILDINGS CONFERENCE 2020 We are delighted that Tall Buildings Conference is returning for the second year, which to meet the current Covid-19 restrictions, is taking place as a ‘Virtual Conference & Exhibition’. This year’s conference has also seen the addition of the Tall Buildings Awards – information on which you can find in the second half of this event brochure.

TALL BUILDINGS CONFERENCE is intended to assist engineers in understanding the common challenges associated with transferring standard engineering principles and knowledge from low-rise structures to tall buildings. Tall Buildings Conference will highlight design and building technology innovation in the UK high-rise sector – facilitating learning and knowledge transfer plus providing a platform for discussion and debate. This brochure will guide you through the conference agenda and the impressive portfolio of speaker projects and exhibitor products.

As event organisers we have been truly humbled by the ongoing support from all participants – Speakers, Delegates, Sponsors and Exhibitors - and wish to offer our thanks for your patience and understanding during this challenging year.

@ExploreOffsite The Offsite Hub is your online information centre dedicated to connecting sectors in the world of offsite construction. As the UK moves towards more modern methods of construction (MMC), prefabrication and factory-based methods have never been more popular. Offsite manufacturing methods offer a range of benefits from improved efficiency and shorter construction times to reduced cost and environmental benefits. These are just some of the reasons that make offsite construction such a hot topic in the industry. It is a contemporary solution to traditional construction problems around safety, build time and build quality.

www.offsitehub.co.uk

Tall Buildings are a product of our time and a globally accepted solution to densification, lack of land, growing population and reducing commute time. Although Tall Buildings play an important role in modern society, this type of construction presents unique challenges for all parties involved in their design and construction.

TALL BUILDINGS AWARDS

WELCOME TO THE TALL BUILDINGS AWARDS 2020 The Tall Buildings Awards will celebrate those that are developing unique design and engineering solutions to maximise space in city centres where demand is high whilst creating a legacy of iconic superstructures that are transforming the UK’s built environment.

2020 has presented many personal and business challenges but in spite of this unparalleled situation, the awards organisers have been determined the event must go ahead.

To meet the current restrictions, the Tall Buildings Awards have been integrated into the virtual Tall Buildings Conference agenda – and are being hosted by awards judge – Mark Wakeford.

The following pages of the event brochure will guide you through the impressive portfolio of projects that have been shortlisted for the 2020 Tall Buildings Awards.

Our fantastic sponsors have made contributions that are powering the success of the awards. A huge thank you to each organisation that sponsored the 2020 virtual ceremony. Details on the sponsors can be found throughout this brochure.

Another big thank you goes to the Tall Buildings Awards judges – whose task is so incredibly difficult. 2020 marks the first year of the Tall Buildings Awards and has demonstrated that even in these incredibly difficult circumstances the event is important to celebrate the organisations shaping the cities skylines.

And finally, thank you to all of our entrants, who really made the launch year of the Tall Buildings Awards the success that they are today. Without you all this would not be possible.

Thank you for joining us – we hope your families and businesses are doing well in these challenging times and it is good to have somethings so positive to celebrate.

The Madison is a residential tower with a striking new silhouette in the jumble of buildings that forms the skyline of Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs. Its slender, articulated form creates a visual destination for the residents of this new tall building. The building is clad with articulated fins that create a moiré effect reflecting the water that surrounds the site. This effect means that the façade changes as an observer passes around the building.

TIDE CONSTRUCTION & VISION MODULAR SYSTEMS: 101 GEORGE STREET Best Residential Tall Building Project

Developed by Tide Construction, this landmark development was delivered in record timescales using the best of modern methods of construction. Reaching heights of 136m – equivalent to the London Eye – 101 George Street’s 44 and 38 storey tower is the tallest modular building in the world. Thanks to the efficiencies of modular, this scheme will be delivered in just 26 months.

These factory-built homes were manufactured by Vision Modular Systems; Tide’s modular company, in a clean, safe, temperature-controlled environment, and craned into place onsite.

ONE Creative environments (ONE) is proud to be a finalist and a sponsor of the Tall Buildings 2020 Awards.

ONE’s multi-award-winning “virtual mockup” concept is a perfect solution for projects where there is repeatability or high risk – typically found on tall buildings.

Traditionally, project teams build physical mockups of critical areas in order to test buildability, compliance, finish, specification and construction sequencing – the virtual mockup performs these checks digitally at a fraction of the cost and time, whilst also bringing additional benefits.

Enquire today to explore the benefits of a virtual mockup on your project.

BEST TALL BUILDING RETROFIT OR REFURBISHED PROJECT

CATEGORY SPONSOR

GLOBAL HSE SOLUTIONS: LIBERTY QUAYS REFURBISHMENT Best Tall Building Retrofit or Refurbished Project

Following an intensive survey, identifying issues with the fire protection and compartmentation of the 17-storey building, Global HSE, part of the Global Group were instructed to carry out a full refurbishment to the passive fire protection. Liberty Quays is a 17-storey building, purpose built for student accommodation. The block, located in the centre of Southampton, consists of 562 en-suite rooms, allowing students the privacy of a private room but with the social element of a shared kitchen and living area.

K SYSTEMS – KILWAUGHTER MINERALS: FITZWARREN COURT Best Tall Building Retrofit or Refurbished Project

The block was scheduled for demolition under a £120m regeneration plan for the area mooted in 2016, but this was halted the same year when the housing association secured funds to modernise the block. This project showcased innovation and the adaptability of the K Systems solutions and project team. In order to achieve the desired aesthetic finish, it was decided upon that mineral wool slabs would be adhesively fixed into these areas and this proved a success on completion of works.

KENSA CONTRACTING: RENEWABLE HEATING SYSTEMS IN TOWER BLOCK Best Tall Building Retrofit or Refurbished Project

Heat Pump (GSHP) ambient district heating in social housing. This project was carried out along with a number of external fabric improvements to 8 tall buildings in the London Borough of Enfield. Innovative shared ground loops where used to provide these tower blocks with much needed renewable heating. Whilst this was a MEP technology it was also initially scoped as an energy efficient retrofit and sustainability project.
