The Project
Engaged by a new client, Mcaleer & Rushe, we were asked to undertake the cladding and low level glazing & door elements to this prestigious BTR development on the dockside in Edinburgh.
Primarily brick construction with composite windows, our package focused on the high level cladding and copings along with all of the ground floor curtain walling, cladding doors to the numerous inset bays around the perimeter of this 4 block development. Another job for our newly designed and CWCT Sequence B tested Prometheus ‘Discrete Fix’ Aluminium Cladding System! With all the elements fabricated ‘in house’ in our Teesside fabrication plant, this allowed far more flexibility and speed on site when dealing with the inevitable tolerance issues – and believe me there were a few on this job! Replacement panels were available in days rather than weeks which allowed us to keep ‘on program’ and adapt to the inevitable brickwork inconsistencies – this led to a speedy install and practical completion on time.
Along with the cladding and glazing we also oversaw the installation of a Record Circle Slide Door and numerous Robust steel doors – all security rated for this location.
The buildings was ‘capped’ off with the ‘Titan Olympus’ Coping system – a system designed with full adjustment, increased load capacity and can withstand the rigors of the Edinburgh environment, especially around the port area.
The building was completed in several stages between July and December 2025 ready for it’s new residents in this up and coming part of Edinburgh.
