Capital Gate

A landmark tower among landmark towers, Capital Gate is the 35 storey focal point of Abu Dhabi's Capital Centre, a mixed use development supporting the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). In June 2010, it was certified by Guiness Book of Records as the furthest-leaning manmade tower in the world. We were appointed as specialist consultant by lead engineer and architect RMJM to advise on construction.

International Quarter London - Plot S6

Situated in the Olympic Park site, as part of the London 2012 games legacy, Transport for London’s (TfL) new headquarter at International Quarter London provides 265,000 sq ft modern, dynamic facilities for around 3,000 TfL staff.

Aldermanbury Square

Our structural engineering design for this speculative office and retail development helped increase the project's earning potential as well as cutting costs significantly.

The scheme originally allowed for 17 storeys of flexible office space. We worked closely with the services engineers to save more than 100mm on the combined depth of the perforated steel beam, services and ceiling void between each floor; the total saving over 17 floors enabled the architects to add an eighteenth storey without increasing the overall building height.

The new building is a steel frame structure with concrete cores and curtain wall glazing set back from projected stainless steel-clad columns. It replaces a 1960s building on the same site.

We deepened the existing single ba ...

G1 George Square

Glasgow’s G1 Building on the south side of the city’s George Square was once the city’s main post office. It now houses 120,000 sq ft of office and restaurant space behind its Grade A listed façade. Ramboll’s building services and fire engineers designed energy-efficient systems that enabled maximisation of the total lettable area of the 12-storey building.

The services design provides flexibility, allowing for separate metering for two tenants per floor on each of the building’s eight office floors, with further provision in the basement and on the roof for the installation of tenant plant. Air-handling units and chillers have been custom made to fit the comparatively small roof space. The two chillers circulate water to each floor’s ceiling-mounted fan coil units, while fresh ...
