This access ramp provides a new shared services access on the west side between York Road and King’s Cross station within the footprint of the proposed new Google HQ. Kilnbridge were contracted to provide a range of passive fire protection works for this project.
Kilnbridge was appointed by BAM Nuttall to install soffit insulation to the structure of the roof slab of the access ramp. We had previously installed the soffit insulation to the southern access ramp for Taylor Woodrow. Kilnbridge selected the most economical solution based on the performance specification and installed the product as a follow-on trade to the main structure construction.
Our selection of products and fixings allowed for the increased speed of installation for these fire stopping and fire prevention works and provided the required void space for the installation of the mechanical and electrical services.
