Great Start at BBC White City

We are off to a great start at BBC white City where we have been busy recladding the Iconic BBC Television Centre with over 4,000m2 of brick faced precast panels. To date we have finished Plots B and C and have now started on the largest plot A with the beautiful Cotswold Buff bricks. The design has had it’s challanges with plot B being required to clad onto an existing structure which required special light weight concrete panels which we developed in-house. Plot A has some interesting panel shapes and sizes with the average panel being over 9m in length 3.5m high and weighing in at 10 tonnes each

Grants Precast awarded King’s Court – Covent Garden

Grants Precast have been awarded the highly prestigious brick faced precast to the new King’s Court development in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. The facades use high quality hand made bricks which have been expertly chosen to match the history and ambiance of the surrounding properties while creating a subtle air of distinction and character. The 100,000 square feet mixed-use scheme (including over 20,000 square feet of new space) will improve pedestrian flow around the estate by creating a new passageway connecting Long Acre and King Street. The development will create eight new retail units, two new restaurants and forty-five premium apartments centred around a new public courtyard.

New Chas Accreditation for Grants Precast

We have been busy ensuring that not only are we producing high quality innovative precast architectural units, but that they are being manufactured in an environment where health and safety exceeds acceptable standards. The Chas accreditation means that our Health and Safety Policy and organisation have been assessed by independent assessors to or above a standard acceptable as defined by Chas. We always try to go further and we are now embedding this culture into everything we do to try and make the environment in which we conduct our business as safe and as healthy as we can. We believe this builds a far more sustainable business.

Natural Portland Stone Structural Precast Columns

Another first for the Grants Group – August 2012. We have started the manufacture of 5m high precast structural precast columns, which are clad in solid Portland Stone. The Portland Stone rings are placed into our specially designed moulds and the structural precast concrete is cast inside. We have separated the stone and concrete so that although the Portland Stone columns look solid the stone is purely aesthetic and the engineered reinforced precast concrete is doing all the work. Grants Precast have been selected to produce these columns for a prestigious project at De Vere Gardens in Kensington, central London for their attention to detail and masonry skills in precast concrete. These columns are designed and constructed by Grants and are believed to be the first ever of this type of construction.
