101 Moorgate

The new 101 Moorgate building in London is an exciting 10-storey over-station development that will sit above Moorgate station's Hammersmith & City line, at the heart of the new Elizabeth Line complex. This state-of-the-art structure is set to become a prominent landmark in the heart of the city's financial district. 101 Moorgate aims to provide an exceptional work environment for its occupants. The building will offer high-quality office spaces, boasting cutting-edge technology. Additionally, it will feature a range of amenities, including retail spaces, restaurants, and communal areas, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. Situated in a prime location, 101 Moorgate will offer excellent connectivity and accessibility to transport links and nearby amenities. 

This project involved the installation of a comprehensive range of structural noise and vibration isolation solutions. 

To ensure optimal performance, we implemented 32 elastomeric bearing assemblies above the level 01 plinths and T.O.S, as well as 6 elastomeric bearing assemblies at pile cap level. These bearings, specifically the Stravibase VHS (3 layers) type, were equipped with failsafes and steel top and bottom plates, providing enhanced stability and safety. With a natural frequency of 12Hz across the load range, these bearings effectively mitigate noise and vibration disturbances. 

Additionally, we supplied Stravibase Fix isolation and stabilizer bearings for the façade and staircase. This structural elastic fixation is designed to isolate substructures from superstructures while resisting uplift forces. The implementation of Stravibase Fix further enhances the overall structural integrity and acoustically decouples the facade and staircases from the rest of the building, ensuring a comfortable and stable environment. 

Our comprehensive approach to noise and vibration isolation solutions ensures that the 101 Moorgate building maintains a high standard of comfort and functionality for its occupants.
