Kings Cross

The Brief

One of the final buildings within the King’s Cross development, the S3 project is an 11-storey mixed use building. Under it’s new name, ‘One Keskidee Square’ will offer approximately 26,000m2 of Grade A office space.

With our long-standing relationship with BAM Construction, as well as the Kings Cross S1 building. We were chosen to deliver the structural package for the 11 storey Keskidee Square development.

Our Approach

  • The location of the building sits above two Thameslink rail tunnels so careful consideration had to go into the foundational structure and weight of the frame. 
  • Our design team had to ensure the connections were both structurally sound and aesthetically appealing as many of these would be visible in the final condition. 
  • We had to incorporate numerous design changes to adjust to the clients requirements, including new staircase openings. 
  • We also incorporated temporary supports allowing us to erect steelwork out of the conventional order.
  • We designed and fabricated the tower crane grillage to EXC3 in accordance with BS EN 1090:2.
