Executive Summary<\/h2>\n
\n

OCS delivered the full life-cycle plant replacement at Citypoint, a 36-storey commercial landmark in London owned by Brookfield Properties. The project focused on replacing critical end-of-life systems while maintaining 24\/7 operations for international tenants.<\/p>\n

The works, completed without a single unplanned service interruption, have futureproofed over 130,000 sq. ft. of contiguous commercial space and strengthened the long-term resilience of the asset.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

    The Brief<\/h2>\n
    \n

    Citypoint required a complex programme of critical plant replacements to ensure long-term building resilience, efficiency, and compliance. Brookfield Properties appointed OCS as principal contractor to deliver this while preserving continuous operations in a live, high-profile environment.<\/p>\n

    The Outcome<\/h2>\n
    \n

    The project was completed without a single unplanned service interruption, despite the complexity of delivering major engineering works in a live, 24\/7 commercial tower.<\/p>\n

    Citypoint now benefits from significantly improved resilience, enhanced energy efficiency, and future-ready core systems. The collaborative, partnership-led delivery model established during the works has created a blueprint for managing complex upgrades in occupied, high-profile environments, striking a balance between technical excellence and an exceptional occupier experience.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
