420m2 Commercial Floor Renovation and Screed London
Derelict for more than 30 years, Battersea Power Station has long captured the imagination of dreamers. From rollercoasters and waterfalls, night clubs to Tomorrowland. The power station has passed through several hands before ending up with a consortium of Malaysian investors that bought the site for £400m in 2012.
Now surrounded by hoardings and scaffolding, it lies at the heart of one of the most ambitious redevelopment schemes in Britain’s capital, with nearly 40 sites, owned by domestic and overseas developers, clustered in the surrounding 561 acres known as Nine Elms.
Major Contractor Area Sq have been redeveloping the site alongside Capital HD with Screed Works Ltd appointed for 420m2 of floor screed to the commercial renovation project in under the rail arches. Using Ardex A29, the newcomer of the Ardex Rapid Drying Rapid setting products, combined with their new ‘green’ bonding Agent Ardex A18 the site was ready to be laid on in just 24 hours.
