ROC Begins Full MEP Delivery at Fulham Reach with Berkeley Group

ROC is delighted to be onsite at Fulham Reach, our latest collaboration with Berkeley Group Plc

Working alongside St George PLC, a Berkeley brand renowned for delivering high-quality, mixed-use sustainable regeneration in London, we’re making fantastic progress on this prestigious development.

Our scope covers full MEP delivery to the 91 apartments in block B2 and 4 town houses on what will be the final phase of the Fulham Reach development. All units will have full cooling provided by a VRF system and we will also be delivering all life safety systems on the scheme.

This project marks another milestone in our strong relationship with Berkeley Group Plc, following our successful collaborations on South Quay Plaza and Silkstream.

We are looking forward to continuing our successful working relationship with both St George and their MEP designer MKP, delivering exceptional results once again!

ROCMEP secures another prestigious project with Curo Construction: South Molton Street, London

ROC is thrilled to announce we have secured another prestigious project in the heart of Mayfair, London – South Molton Street, collaborating with Curo Construction once again, following our successful completion of Shinfield Studios earlier this year. This opportunity underscores our commitment to delivering excellence whilst building lasting and trusted partnerships.

The mixed-use development, delivered on behalf of overall client Grosvenor, presents a unique challenge and opportunity – preserving historic building facades and retaining the area’s landmarks, whilst creating 370,000 sq ft of new office space, housing, hotel, retail, F&B outlets, community and leisure spaces.

We will be delivering the full MEP works on site, which consists of a central ASHP system for heating and hot water to the 33 residential units, a VRF system serving the new retail units, all new life systems, along with new mechanical and electrical installations to all landlord and fit-out areas throughout the 15 self-contained units.

In line with Grosvenor’s sustainability commitments, the project aims to achieve net zero carbon in both operation and construction, minimising embodied carbon and waste wherever possible, with offsetting strategies in place to ensure the development is carbon neutral at practical completion.

We’re proud to be a part of a project that will leave a lasting impression in Mayfair.

ROC appointed by Mount Anvil at South London development, One Clapham

ROC are delighted to announce that we have been appointed by Mount Anvil to deliver the full MEP package to 307 new units at their ‘One Clapham’ development in Battersea, South London.

The scheme, part of the award-winning transformation of St John’s Hill, consists of 6 blocks with a mix of studio, one, two and three bed properties along with communal areas, including a peloton hub.

From a services perspective, we will be tapping into the existing energy center to serve the underfloor heating system throughout the apartments, additionally there are number of apartments that will have cooling via a newly installed VRF system.

The scheme was secured by working via a PCSA to ensure a fully coordinated stage 4 design was detailed and approved prior to agreement of the final contract sum.

We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with Mount Anvil throughout the scheme.

ROCMEP Complete Works at 8 Bishopsgate: the UK’s most sustainable office tower

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.

 

 

ROCMEP onsite at Regents Wharf Kings Cross

ROC have been engaged by Wates Group for the Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the Electrical Works for Regents Wharf Kings Cross, as part of completion of a 5 storey new build, refurb works to existing buildings, basement, roof areas and external lighting.

Once completed, Regents Wharf will offer 111,000 sq ft of contemporary commercial space, plus 17,500 sq ft of private gardens and terraces, some with views of the city and others overlooking the canal.

The development is rich in industrial heritage: three historic buildings remain and are being sensitively restored and complemented by a stylish new space to provide an inspiring environment. There is a huge emphasis on #sustainability, which will result in a Net Zero Operational Carbon development for the end user, plus a #BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

We are looking forward to working closely with Wates to deliver this exciting development.
