Project story
From the outset, innovation has played an integral part of the construction of N06, supported by a forward-thinking client and subcontractor team.
Mace was appointed to build N06 in East London’s East Village, comprising two residential towers, at 26 and 31 storeys, and two ten-storey pavilions connected by a high level inhabited skybridge. This follows the success of N08 (Victory Plaza), where the team pioneered the award-winning jump factory – a temporary floor plate wrapped around the tower to create an indoor construction site that rises as each floor is built, reducing safety risks and improving speed of delivery.
With the delivery of N06 the team took lessons learned from N08 and developed a complete digitally driven offsite manufacture and assembly approach called High Rise Solutions.
In a UK first we delivered both façade and structural components as sub-assemblies, adopting the unique approach pioneered by and in collaboration with Hickory in Australia. The result is that each floor is installed fully enclosed which not only reduces the project time but significantly reduces the risks of working from height.
By componentising the construction process and moving it to a digital platform, the programme is not only significantly faster but is guaranteed, as we are able to schedule the delivery of far fewer individual components to site.
Additional benefits come from less waste production and less transport to site by simply installing engineered design solutions.
