Mace Group were contracted to carry out the refurbishment and expansion of the Southbank Tower, London by the addition of further floors. Given the pressures involved on completion to the desired timescale Mace contacted RAH Consultancy with a request to join their team. The contract was to review the following duties with regard to the building’s water supply system. The review was to be based upon the in depth consideration of:

• Inspection of layout drawings including all Water System design from the incoming mains to the final point of use.
• Consideration of all proposed water fittings and the system design during the initial design stage.
• Liaison with the production of Technical Submittals for the project.
• Liaison with Thames Water Regulators.
• Undertake inspections of the system at regular intervals up to the acceptance and signing off of the systems by the Thames Water Regulators

RAH Consultancy designed a computer based report structure which was evaluated, tested and accepted by Mace on site at Southbank. The reports and their recommendations and conclusions are shared by RAH Consultancy, Mace and Thames Water.

We are proud to state that, following an inspection by Thames Water Regulators, Mace have been issued with a letter granting consent and a Certificate of Compliance for the incoming water supply system, the basement water systems and all floor up to number 29.

The inspections of the other floors are completed and await the final regulators acceptance.
