Imperial Wharf, London, Great Britain
PERI‘s flexible and efficient scaffolding system used
on £0.3 billion regeneration scheme
St George plc is creating an impressive mixed use development on the Fulham/Chelsea borders in South West London. Imperial Wharf, a prime regeneration scheme of world-class importance has already won numerous awards for planning and design and is fast becoming London‘s premier riverside address.
With an overall project value of £300m phased construction began in May 2000 and is due for completion in 2011. Imperial Wharf will provide 1800 luxury apartments, restaurants and shops within this mixed tenure development of 282,500 square feet on a 32 acre site.
St George plc appointed main contractor J. Reddington Ltd. to construct the concrete shell and cores to blocks C and H of the development. J. Reddington in turn specified the use of over £1m worth of PERI formwork and scaffolding equipment for the project including MULTIPROP, TRIO & SKYDECK. Already very familiar with the PERI range, having more that 10 years experience of the products, J. Reddington have now invested further in PERI’s new scaffolding system, PERI UP. PERI UP is the most innovative modular system scaffold that is as adaptable as traditional scaffold with the ability to safely erect behind an advancing guardrail.
Designed as a core kit of only nine components it can cater for a wide range of applications including:
- Facades
- Stair Towers
- Shoring
- Maintenance Towers & Scaffolds
- Birdcages
- Falsework

“The PERI UP system is very good and efficient. PERI has obviously invested a lot of time in this market. They provide very good back-up service, with a dedicated team available to help produce technical drawings and calculations. PERI UP allows variation in platform heights and safer stacking which make construction much faster. On the vertical members, there are fixings every 500 mm which facilitates easy adaptation.”

PERI UP is being used as a façade scaffold to the four H blocks currently under construction. Ranging in height from 4-8 storeys they feature balconies, bays and insets which the new ledger based system, using 250 mm wide steel decks, is more than flexible enough to deal with. |

Internal console brackets are fitted with guardrail posts and guardrails to safely allow slab edge features and cavity wall insulation to be installed from the outside in advance of the brick outer skin. An additional feature on this project was the further extension of the console brackets to close the gap between slab edge and scaffold to ensure that the inner façade skin panels could not slip down whilst being fitted. This attention to detail allowed all the trades involved to work safely without interruption thereby reducing downtime and improving efficiency. |
|
As with all city sites, restricted site access meant that elevations and sections of the complete scaffold had to be installed at different times. Through careful planning this was overcome, without complicated interfacing and hazardous stepped platforms, and with site staircase accesses added easily to the outside of each section as necessary. |
