LCEC June 14 2011 Event - Heron Tower Visit The story behind the project


The club was delighted to be able to offer this fantastic opportunity to visit the latest tall building on the City’s sky line. The event was attended by over 70 club members which figure does not include hosts, speakers and club officers. A truly memorable and enjoyable event!

Over 200m tall and 46 storeys high the building offered an opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of London from another vantage point. We were treated to a presentation from Paul Simovic of architects KPF and Jonathan Inman of Skanska who constructed the project, who spoke about the unique aspects of the design of the building for client Heron International and some of the technological innovations introduced and the challenges overcome. As always there was an opportunity to ask questions followed a chance to enjoy the view with a glass of wine and networking as usual.
