The Shard is a 95 storey building designed by the Architect Renzo Piano and is currently the tallest building in the UK. The building offers a mix of commercial, residential and public spaces.
Ruddy were appointed to fit out the ten residential apartments and we provided structural engineering services direct to Ruddy for the fit out of the show apartment.
The residential floor plates are based in prestressed concrete units which we were not allowed to drill into, so resin bonded techniques were employed. The fit out also involved the erection of an internal mezzanine floor which again required exacting design to ensure loads were safely passed into the building is new steel frame.
