The Challenge<\/h3>\n

Citypoint<\/a> is a 36-storey commercial landmark in London, home to businesses that depend on reliable infrastructure and uninterrupted building services.<\/p>\n

With several major plant systems approaching the end of their operational life, Brookfield Properties needed to protect the building’s long-term performance while maintaining an attractive, dependable workplace for occupiers.<\/p>\n

Replacing critical infrastructure in a building operating around the clock required a detailed understanding of asset condition, system dependencies and operational risks. Every decision needed to balance essential engineering improvements with business continuity and the long-term value of the property.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n\n

\n

The Solution<\/h3>\n

Engineering assessments and detailed knowledge of Citypoint’s infrastructure informed a phased replacement programme, prioritising operational continuity throughout the works.<\/p>\n

Understanding the dependencies between critical plant systems helped teams plan shutdowns, temporary arrangements and phased handovers. Overnight working and close coordination with Brookfield Properties, contractors and building occupiers allowed essential upgrades to progress around the building’s operational requirements.<\/p>\n

Regular monitoring of safety, quality and project performance supported informed decisions as work progressed, helping manage risks and maintain delivery against agreed milestones.<\/p>\n

Five major plant systems, including chilled water and air handling equipment, were replaced to strengthen the building’s long-term reliability and efficiency.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n\n
