Kier has started work on the Energy Centre which is situated in the north west quadrant of King’s Cross Central. The Energy Centre will provide heating and hot water for University of the Arts London when it opens in September 2011 and subsequently for all the buildings within the site as and when they are completed.
The Energy Centre will be housed in Phase I of Building T1.
Phase I comprises a two storey concrete structure. The ground floor sits partially below ground level; approximately 1.5m from the top of the concrete raft foundation.
Remediation works are now almost complete and a tower crane has been erected to facilitate construction.
Kier will be employing some 50 people at the construction activity’s peak and have now established their own office on site.
