We are delighted to share that Paul Craig, Senior M&E Construction Manager at Telford Homes, has won the Individual Champion award for the Environment category, at the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) Shining Light Awards.   The Leading Lights Awards recognise and showcase innovative and impactful work that drives positive change in the construction industry.   Paul deservedly won this award for his innovative work on power supply and battery trials on our Capital Interchange Way project. As the district network operator was unable to provide the requisite power within a feasible timeframe, the site was forced to find an alternative power source. Paul engaged with Northvolt and developed and implemented a power strategy which comprised of a minimal mains supply (insufficient to power a single crane on its own) from the grid to charge the battery, which in turn facilitated a considerably larger power output using one power unit rather than three generators. This solution not only combated power supply issues on-site, but also provided a more sustainable solution, aligning with our Building a Living Legacy sustainability strategy to become a net zero carbon company by 2030.   We are one of the first UK developers to utilise this technology and method, and as a result has redefined our construction stage energy strategies across the business. This could ignite a major shift on how the industry will approach energy sourcing in the future.   You can read more about Paul’s work on our website: https://lnkd.in/dH3mvN4M   A huge congratulations to Paul for all his hard work, which has produced fantastic results, and for his well-deserved recognition.   #CCS #Developer #Sustainability #london #powersupply #northvolt

We are delighted to share that our Balfron Tower development has won the Retrofit category at the NLA Awards, thanks to the entry submitted by Studio Egret West.   Judges noted the ‘conservation informed’ approach taken, respecting the Brutalist architecture, whilst providing a second life for the Tower, making it relevant to today’s society. It was also recognised that the revitalisation of Balfron Tower and the landscape around the site has not only contributed to the wider appreciation of the innovative architecture, preserving it for generations to come, but also has helped to transform and improve the Brownfield Estate community as a whole.   Balfron Tower consists of 146 apartments in three design styles, designed by Studio Egret West and Ab Rogers Design, with six ‘Heritage’ apartments carefully retained in the original style - preserving the layouts drawn up by Erno Goldfinger, the original architect. A fantastic result for the team and our partners Poplar HARCA!   Read More: https://lnkd.in/eg2Yu_p8   #awards #london #developer #sustainable
