Get to know more about the project below
Student Accommodation Project in London was successfully delivered by Pan Gulf Technologies with advanced BIM coordination, structural detailing, and high-precision rebar modeling to ensure seamless construction execution.
Location:
London
Software:
Tekla and CADS-RC
Project Description:
Once completed this project is set to become the largest Passivhaus-certified student accommodation project in london development in London. The scheme comprises three towers of 28, 36, and 46 storeys, delivering 1,672 student beds alongside 80 residential apartments. A four-storey podium will accommodate 41,000 sq. ft. of commercial office space, together with ancillary residential areas, an indoor soft play space for children, and retail units.
Construction has been particularly challenging due to the site’s location within a highly congested and prime area of central London. These constraints necessitated the use of a top-down construction methodology with extensive temporary propping, requiring meticulous consideration in the detailing of capping beams, basement slabs, walls, and columns. The restricted availability of space for material storage and construction operations further elevated the importance of site safety for the contractor. Consequently, the heavily reinforced capping beams were detailed using Tekla software, incorporating over 200 couplers within a single beam.
Scope of Services for Student Accommodation Project in London:
The scope includes all RCC structural elements such as pile caps, capping beams, tower crane bases, and core bases, along with lining walls, columns, and slabs. It also covers structural components like outrigger walls, core walls, and pull-out bars. In addition, prefabricated elements including lobby slabs, stair landings, benches, and planters are incorporated to ensure both structural efficiency and architectural integration.
Key Challenges
• Highly congested construction site in central London
• Top-down construction method with heavy propping
• Limited material stacking space affecting logistics & safety
• Detailing heavily reinforced capping beams
• Integration of more than 200 couplers within a single beam
Results Achieved:
• Accurate detailing of complex top-down structural elements
• Successful integration of heavy reinforcement and coupler systems
• Fabrication-ready deliverables supporting site efficiency
• Enhanced coordination under constrained urban construction conditions
