New Education Centre, London, SW1

Leading contractor Balfour Beatty was awarded the prestigious contract of building The Houses of Parliament New Education Centre at the northern end of Victoria Gardens.

After lengthy tender and security clearance processes Panthera were chosen as the successful contractor to supply the projects perimeter hoarding and security.

Due to the sites location and its historical importance a no dig policy was in place. Panthera’s Temporary Works team designed a free-standing hoarding system that delivered 3kN / per l/m for crowd and wind loading.

Panthera’s security division worked in close collaboration with the hoarding team and the Balfour Beatty site team to ensure that at the end of each day the perimeter microwave security systems was fully functioning above all new hoarding that had been erected.

The project was a success for all involved and one which Panthera received recognition for from the Balfour Beatty project team.
