The building has been stripped back to its original concrete frame and the structure is being re-clad with a stone finish using a lightweight steel framing system.

The design also includes a large steel-framed rear extension and two additional steel floors, accessible via a new entrance and circulation core.

The additional fourth and fifth storeys will be largely glazed and set in from the existing footprint behind a bronze clad louvre screen.

Working on behalf of main contractor Grays Thurrock Properties, Gorge Fabrications is fabricating, erecting and supplying 102t of structural steelwork for the project.
