Fulham Gasworks (King's Road Park)

OVERVIEW

A high-profile development project in the heart of Fulham aimed at creating a new residential neighbourhood in and around a beautiful park (King's Road Park), by transforming a redundant gas works site into a brand new sustainable urban quarter.


In one of London's most sought-after locations, King's Road Park is literally a stone's throw from King's Road and the River Thames.


The project creates over 1,800 homes, restoring two Grade II listed buildings and provides 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, featuring bars, restaurants, and offices.

RYNO were contacted late in the project by AYM, acting as sub-contractor for this Berkeley Group development, to remedy the combustible decking in the original specification, which was obviously not compliant with fire-safety regulations.


The requirement was that all the decking be replaced with a non-combustible wood-grain finish. We worked directly with Berkeley Group to explore non-combustible finish options and put forward onr of our newer porcelain finishes that would match the overall aesthetic appeal of the project.


We delivered various samples of finishes and when we deep-dived into the project, as part of our methodology, we determined that it was at risk of wind-uplift. Berkeley Group carried out a wind-uplift assessment, which we facilitated, and confirmed the risk, which we then helped mitigate by proposing kerfed porcelain tiles with our Hidden Wind Uplift fixing.


We worked very closely with Berkeley Group throughout the project to address and resolve any challenges, while AYM did a fantastic job installing all the balconies and terraces with our kerfed porcelain and hidden wind-uplift fixing.


This has been one of our largest projects to-date, a great success and a prime example of our hidden restraint in action. See if you can spot it.
