Roof Patent Glazing at Victoria Coach Station, London
Project Overview
Victoria Coach Station, an iconic transportation hub in London, required the expertise of Standard Patent Glazing Co Ltd for the design, manufacture and installation of 1300m² of roof patent glazing. Our Traditional patent glazing system was chosen to enhance the terminal’s aesthetics and functionality, incorporating 9.5mm laminated safety glass to meet CWCT TN66 & TN67 standards for non-fragility.
Assurance through Testing
To ensure compliance and safety, we conducted an in-house non-fragility test witnessed by the Transport for London (TFL) engineering team. This rigorous testing, performed at our facility in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, provided TFL with assurance that our glazing system could withstand impact and provide a non-fragile assembly in accordance with industry standards.
Bespoke Access System
In addition to the glazing system, we designed and tested a bespoke access system for future maintenance. This system underwent a comprehensive testing regime at our facility to ensure durability, reliability, and ease of access for maintenance personnel, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the installation.
Project Management and Delivery
The project presented initial complexities during tender and design phases, but our dedicated in-house experts managed every aspect with precision and expertise. Despite the challenges, we successfully delivered the project within the agreed programme, ensuring minimal disruption to the operation of Victoria Coach Station.
