Built in the 1960s, it was one of the first skyscrapers in London and is now Grade II listed reflecting its technological and historic importance.<\/p>\n<p>The building is currently undergoing a large-scale transformation, engineered by <a href=\"https:\/\/pellfrischmann.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pell Frischmann<\/a>, converting the former office into 21,000 sqm of luxury residential units and 7,500 sqm of prime retail space which surrounds a new square to a major new station entrance to the Elizabeth Tube Line which opens in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Pell Frischmann is a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy practice, who set out to challenge the conventional role of the engineer in the traditional design and construction process enabling our clients to achieve their ambitions.<\/p>\n<h3>At Centre Point, Pell Frischmann considered\u00a0a number of challenges, including:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A new piled raft design to limit ground pressure on the new Elisabeth tube tunnel.<\/li>\n<li>Removal of two entire floors of the annex building to enable double-height retail spaces around the new square while the apartments above the works were inhabited.<\/li>\n<li>Fa\u00e7ade retention at level 33 and 34 of the tower to replace the existing plant area floors with new shallow PT floors increasing headroom to the new apartments. We believe that in doing so we achieved the worlds\u2019 highest fa\u00e7ade retention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the project was a refurbishment there was no need to model the whole building as we would have created unneeded data.<\/p>\n<p>SCIA enabled us to create local analysis models and transfer data between then speeding our design and time efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-89015 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2.jpg\" alt=\"Centre Point \" width=\"1000\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-696x429.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-681x420.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Centre-Point-landmark-\u2013-London-UK-2-610x376.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Solving the challenges with SCIA Engineer<\/h3>\n<p>Pell Frischmann incorporated SCIA Engineer, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/scia-structural-engineering\/87441\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">structural design and analysis tool<\/a>, to help solve the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Juliano Chapon, Pell Frischmann, said: \u201cSCIA Engineer\u2019s great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/scia-autoconverter\/87479\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">modelling tools<\/a> and multi-material capability allowed the design team to work simultaneously on separate isolated elements and combine the parts together when required to create a more complete model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, it was easy to extract elements from larger models and develop them into a more detailed design.
