SERV ICES PROV IDED BY BURO HAPPO LD Masterplan design input, environmental impact assessment scoping, management of environmental impact assessment process, production of environmental statement and non-technical summary, liaison with statutory consultees, wind assessment, air quality assessment, noise and vibration assessment, waste management strategy, socio-economics, ecology, fire engineering, building services and lighting engineering.

The scheme to deliver a residential mixed-use development on the former Fulham Gasworks site will provide up to 1,375 new homes, retail space and public spaces, as well as offering employment opportunities for the local community. The scheme will contribute much needed homes for London on this former gasholder site and will form part of the wider South Fulham Riverside Regeneration Area.

BuroHappold Engineering were appointed by St William Homes LLP to provide a range of environmental and engineering services to assist in securing a part outline and part full planning application in 2016, with the planning application submitted in June 2016, for Fulham Gasworks Development. In addition, our team co-ordinated and managed the entire Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.

This involved aiding collaboration between the various technical specialists and the wider design team throughout the masterplanning process.

We engaged with the required statutory consultees, including effective scoping of the EIA with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) through the submission of an EIA scoping report.

A key element of the project for the BuroHappold team was the development of the waste management plan for the scheme, which involved us embracing opportunities for effective operational waste logistics. This included providing advice on the incorporation of waste chutes for removing waste from residential buildings, the use of portable waste compactors and the accommodation of a basement level service yard. Our experience and understanding of the implication of these systems has been key to ensuring waste is managed in a safe and efficient way, whilst minimising operational costs.

BuroHappold advised on the acoustic considerations of residual National Grid infrastructure - specifically a pressure reduction station - being retained on the site, as well as the relocation of a National Grid depot and the noise and vibration from local railway services. Additionally, we undertook air quality modelling for road and energy centre emissions and influenced the scheme design through close dialogue with LBHF and the architect and energy consultant. This included advice on siting residential accommodation adjacent to Imperial Road in addition to the abatement required to meet Greater London Authority and LBHF Policy requirements.

Further considerations included the future wind environment for the occupiers of the scheme. Through wind modelling and design workshops with the architect and landscape architect, we provided design advice on both the building form and landscaping strategy. The intention of this design input was to ensure that the future intended uses for the public realm met the predicted wind comfort conditions. In addition to this, we provided mechanical and electrical engineering, fire engineering and the site wide lighting strategy for the scheme. This included close dialogue and a number of design workshops with the architectural team to ensure that the scheme being designed in detail for Phase One will meet the requirements of building regulations and industry good practice.
