London Hippodrome Roof Extension – Structural Steel Connection Design and Fabrication Drawings
Beta Scope
- Structural Steel connections design and fabrication drawings for the London Hippodrome Roof Extension.
Background
London Hippodrome is an iconic Grade II listed heritage building located in the heart of Leicester Square. Project 7 and BTR appointed Lomas Steel Structures to install the structural steel for the building extension. Beta design Consultants were commissioned by the client to prepare the detailed steel fabrication drawings for the top three floor levels. Challenges included working to a very tight schedule as the crane had to be booked weeks in advance, detailing the connections for long span pre-cambered beams that can span across the footprint without column support, and working with the existing building fabric to very tight tolerances.
Beta Solution
Beta worked closely with Lomas Steel Structures to ensure all steel was fabricated for ease of installation. Beta worked with BTR to resolve all site queries, check tolerances and ensure the new steel can properly tie into existing building frame. Beta worked with the project Structural Engineers, Alan Baxter to ensure connections were detailed according to the design vision. The result was a project that was delivered on time to meet client requirements.
