Amex planned to move location of part of its UK operations, so the new office building underwent a full refurbishment, including a new atrium, roof and full M&E fit-out.
The rooftop was heavily populated with new plant and associated services including ductwork, cable tray and existing steel work, blocking access routes. Big Foot Technical went to site and during the visit it was soon realised that a custom design solution would be required.
Big Foot Systems offered custom legs providing special clearance, required due to limited space on the roof and existing obstacles; with walkways leading to each other, we were able to design appropriate access routes.
Big Foot offered the ideal solution, elevating the access route to 1.3 metres from floor level for over 40 metres (see below), whilst skilfully avoiding obstructions with carefully surveyed leg assembly locations.

Our solution was particularly suited as it was designed to go in after the plant with no penetrations, taking 8 days from delivery to complete installation.

The quality of the product and speed of installation was fully acknowledged by all involved, with glowing feedback from Wates and the installers. Matthew Chubb, Senior Design Manager for Wates D&B, was particularly pleased with the result and will be utilising our products in the future projects.
