Abstract
The project involved applying innovations to a live case study centring on the construction of a series of flat slab frame structures in a large residential and mixed-use development to demonstrate continuous improvement. The St George Wharf development in Vauxhall, South London represented an ideal opportunity for a number of reasons. The development is very large comprising 100,000sqm of mixed-use accommodation including 750 homes and is very high profile. BRE worked directly with the developer, St George South London and their engineers and contractors to implement innovations tailored to the St George Wharf development. This approach was taken so that the benefits, though specific to a particular project, were more clearly visible and measurable.
