One of the world’s greenest bank buildings. A 14-storey, low-rise ground scraper featuring a dynamic central atrium space and fully-connected floor plan.

A controlled leakage rate was achieved. Each zone was tested and complied with an air leakage rate of:

0.7277l/s.m² without floor coverings.
0.1386l/s.m² with floor coverings.

The large floor plate, of up to and over 10,000m², would have proved to be a challenge in terms of expansion and creep if it was not for our specially designed and patented pedestal head and panel. The panel has a special expansion cut out, and the pedestal head is fitted with an expansion gasket designed to keep the panels separated by 0.3mm at all times. This eliminates the panels clicking or rubbing up against each other during expansion. The use of bridging stringers for services ensured penetrations in the ductwork were kept to a minimum. ASP staff coordinated with other services to ensure penetrations were correctly located and properly sealed.
