Prestigious refurbishment at ‘The British Design Museum’
A new client, Willmott Dixon, had a problem with extremely tight access at the prestigious refurbishment at ‘The British Design Museum’ in Kensington High Street.
16 modular offices and hundreds of tonnes of material had to be delivered in by truck up an 11 degree incline which ordinary transport solutions couldn’t touch.
We attended to look at possible plating solutions but nothing practical could be achieved within the limitations of the site.
But, never willing to give up, we remembered ‘Supertruck’, built by us specifically with a short wheelbase for just such tricky access. With some in house mods to the rear under-runs to cope with the departure angle and keep it FORS compliant we swung into action. In the end we had 2 super-trucks plus a forklift in another yard in London to load out delivering over a 3 month period keeping the project on track until civil engineering arrangements could be made.
