Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf

Situated in the north dock of the West India Quay,

Canary Wharf’s Crossrail Place is a unique architectural

triumph that houses a train station,retail space and a

public garden.

Designed by Foster & Partners and constructed by

Canary Wharf Contractors, the £500 million project’s

distinctive 300 metre timber latice roof has lead to the

building being likened to a ship moored in the

docks.

Beneath it’s eye-catching facade lies Canary Wharf’s

Crossrail station. Scheduled to open in 2018, it is one of

seven new underground stations built to facilitate the

Crossrail project. With a 256 metre long station box, it is

also one of the largest facilities on the Crossrail network.

Allgood began work on the project in early 2015, with

the task of providing an ironmongery package to match

the high quality theme of the building.

With a 25 year guarantee on all products, the Modric

range was selected for the steel doors in order to

provide a durable product that also formed a uniform

appearance for the door.

With the public nature of the building, security was of

paramount importance. The steel door package enabled

access from public to private areas and therefore

required higher security measures. Allgood installed

high security solenoid redlocks that enable electronic

synchronisation with access control.
