Momentum was commissioned by McLaughlin & Harvey to assist with obtaining licences and road closures to aid the refurbishment of 30-34 New Bridge Street, a mixed-use building consisting predominantly of upper-floor office and ground-floor retail space located adjacent to Blackfriars Station in the City of London.
Originally built in the early 20th century, the 7-storey building fronts New Bridge Street to the west and overlooks a small urban park to the south. The proposals include the refurbishment of the commercial office areas and building cores, with works to include full replacement of existing plant, non-loadbearing internal finishes, cleaning and repairing of existing retained façade and replacement of windows and doors.
The most significant change however is a contemporary single-storey roof extension and addition of roof terrace amenity, complemented with a new feature south flank wall, comprising a feature green wall and planters to reinforce the existing pocket park.
Momentum worked in close collaboration with our client, City of London and TfL to obtain a number of temporary licences that aided the scheme, including crane licences, pit lane licences, VMS and AWS, wand installation, bus diversions and suspensions, and temporary traffic orders that facilitated a range of ongoing works on the site including the erection and disassembly of scaffolding.
The project was successfully completed in Spring 2024 with Momentum’s work facilitating the smooth running of all licences and closures throughout the construction period.
