HEAD OF SUPPLY CHAIN

Shaca Construction helped us to deliver an extremely challenging project at grade II listed building, Victoria Palace Theatre. The project involved complex temporary works, structural alterations, underpinning and groundworks. This was a particularly challenging project due to the 6m wide live Victorian sewer running through the site. Nothing ever seems too much of a challenge to Shaca which makes them a great extension to our team.

Our team successfully carried out a range of tasks in a grade two listed auditorium. We demolished a four-storey superstructure using a 22-tonne high reach excavator, skillfully navigating the presence of a live substation and nearby retail units. Our responsibilities included piling for the external extension areas, underpinning within the existing auditorium, and constructing ground beams and RC slabs. Additionally, we efficiently completed metal decking, reinforcement, and concrete works for the newly suspended upper floor slabs.

BELGRAVIA PROJECT.

We performed structural alterations in reinforced concrete and grade two listed masonry, including designing and installing temporary works. Our team skillfully matched the facing brickwork to the existing grade two masonry. Moreover, we relocated a 15-tonne grade one listed marble-clad staircase within the building. This process involved designing custom lifting equipment, installing propping, cutting, lifting, lowering the stair flights onto air skates, moving them to the new location, and lifting them into their final position.
