SAFETY MATTERS

Our approach to safety centres on education, training, and instilling and reinforcing safe behaviours throughout our business, from owners to design teams and our supply chain.

We provide the systems and support for management to make informed decisions through detailed root cause analysis and pre-task planning. The output is a robust, values-based safety program that looks upstream at leading indicators to produce exceptional downstream results.

Each and every month external specialist safety auditors visit all our sites. We embrace their findings for a fresh view of our safety protocols.

Safety training is an essential element on all our projects wherever the location, and this extends to safe work practices for our supply chain.

Our Commitment

Is to the health and wellbeing of all employees and our supply chain. Is to uphold health and safety regulations, legislation and international best practice.

Is to provide training for safe work practices for all employees and our supply chain.

Is to encourage mutual respect, consideration and open communication to all.

No 2 Triton Square is the UK headquarters of Spanish banking giant Santander. This facility extends to over 200,000 sq ft over seven levels. Together with Osborne + Co we recently completed the multi-phased refit of the entire building on a Design & Build basis.

Being a live working environment meant there were a number of project complexities. The core challenge was ensuring continuity of the existing MEP systems to allow the executive and trading floor functions with critical systems support to continue to operate. Not forgetting that this building is in one of central London’s busiest districts made the logistical planning and resources management a vital factor.

For Update Group, the project included a change out of the entire Mechanical & Electrical plant infrastructure, and all new sustainable redesigned layouts across Levels 2 - 6 of the building. As we were responsible for the MEP design, our delivery team worked closely with Santander, Osborne + Co and the project architects LOM, to ensure this fast track project meets the future needs of the Bank into the coming decades.
