Reuse becomes the norm at 75 London Wall

The reuse focused strip out has been successfully delivered by KpH, which by the time of conference will have been followed by comprehensive deconstruction and enabling works phase with the main works commencing this summer.

Utilising Orms’ materials passports research, the team have developed a reuse methodology for the development which has led to immense success in recovering materials for reuse and high-grade recycling. This includes recovery of 15,000 ceiling tiles, 72t stone and over 8,500 lights, every element of the building has been considered for reuse.

Building on the learnings from earlier projects has enable and created:

• an onsite reuse warehouse
• onward use with other developments
• onsite refurbishment of existing windows
• deconstruction and reuse of stone
• manufacturer takeback schemes

Working closely with City of London Council and participating in the ROMULUS research project, the project has so far facilitated reuse of 702t of materials removed from the original building. This is a true retrofit led building.
