One Central, Argyle Street
Woolgar Hunter has provided civil and structural engineering design services in the development of this major project to create a new 13 storey steel framed commercial building in the centre of Glasgow to accommodate a blue chip occupier.
The project involved the demolition of existing buildings on Argyle Street to construct the new 270,000 sq ft 13 storey Grade A office building. The demolition and reconstruction has had to deal successfully with the presence of the neighbouring Network Rail tunnel and listed buildings. The new building has a single level basement across its footprint, which will house both plant rooms and car parking.
The building is founded on deep concrete piles to bedrock and the substructure is constructed in reinforced concrete. Anti-vibration mountings are incorporated into the substructure design to control ground bourse vibration. The superstructure comprises as a steel frame, stabilised by a reinforced concrete core.
The floor structures utilise universal beams with circular cut openings, acting compositely with the concrete slab above. The floor plate is designed as a long span (18m) and is designed to meet and exceed institutional and BCO standards, thereby providing excellent future tenant flexibility.
