Parapets Scope as follows:
A subcontractor is required for the design, manufacture, and installation of 40 x precast parapets at the HS2 project in Euston London. 1 x mock-up trial panel matching the dimensions of a panel is to be constructed and sent to site for approval prior to the construction of the panels. Temporary lifting points may be cast into pockets in the upper surfaces of the parapet units to assist in the erection process. When the parapet is positioned and permanently supported by the in-situ stitch concrete the temporary lifting point pocket may be filled in with cementitious grout or mortar that is colour matched with the precast parapet unit itself. Temporary works designs to assist in the erection of the panels are to be provided by the subcontractor. The site works will consist of 6 parapets installed under a Network Rail possession due to their close proximity to Network Rail assets adjacent to the site with the remainder installed outside possession. Lifting and mobile crane to be provided by the subcontractor.
The precast parapet panels will have the following approximate dimensions:
2.8m (H) 0.4m (D) 3m (W) (refer to the attached drawings)
Concrete to be of grade C32/40
All steel reinforcement to be B500b
Design and manufacture process to begin January 2023. Site works to begin in September 2023.
Looking at the capacity of Tower Crane B (5.2T at 45m working radius), we won’t be able to install the parapets without a mobile crane
