PRESS RELEASE: WOODFORD HEATING REACHES NEW HEIGHTS WITHIN THE WORLD’S HIGHEST TIMBER STRUCTURE

This is a press release by Objective Marketing.

Woodford Heating Limited, an East London based specialist in commercial and industrial heating and plumbing has been awarded another Mechanical Contract from housing developer    Telford Homes.

Stadthaus, comprising of 29 apartments and commercial space, designed by Waugh Thistleton is located on the corner of Murray Grove and Provost Street, London N1. This truly unique project is constructed above first floor level entirely from timber; the nine storey high-rise is set to be the tallest timber residential building in the world, with not only load-bearing walls and floor slabs but stair and lift cores entirely constructed from timber. It will measure 29 metres (95.14 feet) in height.

The development is being constructed using an Austrian solid timber system with wood from sustainable spruce forests, enabling Stadthaus to reduce its carbon footprint. The fabric of the Stadthaus tower will store over 181 tonnes of carbon. Additionally, by not using a reinforced concrete frame, a further 125 tonnes of carbon are saved from entering the atmosphere. This is equivalent to a saving of 210 years of carbon emissions compared to a concrete frame building of similar size.

Tony Ash, Woodford Heating’s Project Manager for Murray Grove commented, “There are only minor differences in installing plumbing and heating into a timber structure in comparison to a concrete structure as more flexible components are required for gas, boosted water and the soil stacks. The only significant difference is the use of more ‘fire prevention sleeves’ for obvious reasons.

We are delighted to have been selected for this prestigious and ground breaking project, and we continue our efforts in being the plumbing and heating sectors leading specialists in applying greener methods and technologies”.
