PROJECT NAME: Little Venice
VALUE: £1.3 million
LOCATION: Acton, London W3
SYSTEM: Insulated Render Design & Build & Concrete Repairs with Anti-carbonation coatings.
CLIENT: Wates

The overcladding works to 6 tower blocks in Little Venice was completed in Sept 2008. The works for Lawtech Ltd included concrete repairs to all 6 tower blocks before the installation of an Alumasc insulated render system. The scope of works also called for Lawtech Ltd to undertake PI design for the works.

The installation of the insulated render system was complicated by the support beams coming across every second floor level. This feature can be seen in photo 3. The design works involved detailing the sealing of the insulated render system up to the curtain wall caldding system which was ot be installed by Harley Curtain Walling under a sepaerate subcontract package.

Lawtech Ltd is a leading subcontractor for many of the façade material suppliers. We are able to provide assistance in the design and installation of various cladding systems including lightweight steel frame infill structures, external wall insulation (EWI), anti-crack render systems, NHBC insulated render systems, concrete repairs and specialist coatings. Our modern philosophy towards contracting is based on the principals of partnering with our clients and an open attitude towards achieving a contract completed on time, in budget and of exceptional quality. Lawtech Ltd is involved in both the new build and refurbishment market and has a proven track record and enjoys working closely with key clients including local authorities, housing associations, main contractors and the MOD.
