Project Outline
Mace was commissioned by Stanhope Plc to deliver a high-end commercial office building situated on the world-famous Savile Row in the heart of Westminster.
The project involved Mace removing the existing Fortress House which was the former home of the English Heritage Headquarters and redeveloping the entire site to accommodate a new mixed-use development sensitively designed to enhance this historic area of London.
The new development consists of a six-storey (plus Basement) building, complete with atrium. The project was awarded a BREEAM rating of ‘very good’ for the development design.
Scope of Works
ASSA ABLOY Security Doors was awarded the metal door package through the Main Contractor Mace.
ASSA ABLOY Security Doors designed supplied and installed over 60 fire-rated Powershield doorsets to the basement areas of the building. Single and double doors were supplied with a rating of 60 and 120 minutes. Riser access doors complete with 4-sided frames were also supplied.
The Works
Steel doors were designed by Draughtsman Padraig Ward, using Autocad 2002 with Mechanical Desktop version 6 and Auto SM. Following drawing approval all door details were downloaded to CNC manufacturing equipment on the factory floor using CAD/CAM software.
Both single and double steel doors were supplied with non-standard frame profile to suit customer requirements.
Double steel doors were designed single-swing, allowing either side to be the active leaf. These doors were manufactured with a modified non-rebated leading-edge at the client’s request, while at the same time maintaining fire rating.
All steel doors were finished with epoxy primer, ready for finish painting on site.
