8 Bishopsgate: the UK’s most sustainable speculative office tower and the tallest structure to receive a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating.

ROCMEP were contracted by Lendlease to undertake the public health, plumbing and electrical fit out of 145 toilet cores & cleaners facilities across all 50 floors, in addition to the fit-out of the shower and WC areas within the two basement levels.

Our challenge was to find sustainable solutions while also minimising any health and safety risks on site.  To counteract the H&S risks, our prefabrication specialists created the domestic services manifolds in an offsite factory facility before bringing them onsite into a dedicated manufacturing location. For the plumbing aspects of the project, water recycling technology was employed to utilise grey water facilities serving WC and urinal flushes, with boosted cold and hot water services serving all basins, cleaners, sinks and showers.

This was a hugely exciting project to work on, as it truly embodied our vision to build better buildings that are fit for the future.

Congratulations to all involved in this amazing building now taking pride of place in the Square Mile.
