Projects

 
Our work speaks for itself. Waterloo has many years' experience in the market. Waterloo has developed unique insight into customer requirements. Our clients have come to rely on our expert advice, excellent design and reliable delivery. The projects below represent a fraction of the work we have completed and demonstrate our commitment to quality in action.
 
 

University College London Hospital (UCLH): The UCLH is a £250 million project, which aims to consolidate the operations of the UCLH Trust from a number of different sites. Phase 1 of the hospital project was completed on time and to budget in April 2005. The building is an 18-storey tower with a five-storey podium. Phase 2 is due for completion in November 2007. This building has been named the Elizabeth Garret Anderson wing, which is a five-storey building with two basement levels. Project design and construction was undertaken by Building Contractors Joint Venture (BCJV) which is a joint venture company comprising AMEC and Balfour Beatty.

 

The scale of the UCLH project has been a challenge in itself – 669 beds, 2500 departmental rooms, 14 operating theatres, 40 critical-care beds, six linear accelerators, 43 medical equipment rooms and 96 consulting and examination rooms. As well as the requirements of this advanced healthcare building, the site itself provided its own challenges for the construction team, as it is a tight site in a busy area of London and above a large underground railway network.

 

Waterloo worked closely with BCJV and ASM to ensure exact selection of products, and timed deliveries for each area. Waterloo provided a dedicated engineer to work with BCJV engineers, and ASM - the ductwork contractors - on all standard and non-standard design aspects. Waterloo also provided full technical schedules and drawing back up to help make the project run as smoothly as possible for the main contractor and other suppliers.

The project: Dublin Airport Pier D: Pier D will provide 14 new boarding gates for narrow- and wide-bodied aircraft by the end of 2007. This will be a 15,000 sq meter two-storey structure. Pier D will also facilitate direct boarding and disembarkation for passengers – enabling a highly efficient turnaround of aircraft.

 

The challenge

The client – DAA - wanted to be certain that the building would be as energy efficient as possible and meet the new regulations on energy use from the European Union.  So an efficient cooling solution was required, working closely with Lynskey Engineering one of Ireland’s leading contractors – and Ventac, Waterloo’s representatives in Southern Ireland, the Waterloo team developed an active chilled beam design detail to suit the installation and specification. This design development stage included full test demonstrations in Waterloo’s laboratory in Holland and visits to previous projects that had successfully used Waterloo’s chilled beams. Manufacturing lead times were also a main driver for the project and key to its success - Waterloo’s industry leading delivery times were one of the key factors for their selection along with our technical capability and our commitment to finding the correct solution for our client’s projects.
