As part of Transport for London’s ‘Cooling the
Tube Programme’ fan replacement for the
Victoria Line, McNealy Brown have recently
completed two projects of a quite different
nature.
At Somerleyton Road, the existing fan house
had to be demolished and re-built with
existing air paths re-routed and new service
rooms built within the existing structure.
The existing fan house and main building wall
were structurally linked requiring new wind
post strengthening works to allow for full
demolition and commencement of new
building works.
The main structure consisted of three
separate tower areas for two new fans /
cowlings, with internal vertical access ladders
and removable floor plates at maintenance
lifting zones.
The external face of the
building was brick clad with
horizontal aesthetic feature
steels to the 3rd floor with
continuous rain-water louvre
system above to the
underside of the roof.
The roof was constructed of
3no segmented sections
profile roof sheets and
overlapping / co-ordinated
flashings and gutters for later
removal for fan replacement
if required.
The roof structure
incorporated steel safety
balustrades with access
gained to the roof via vertical
ladder and roof hatch.
