The Elektron Buildings, London E14
PERI´s RCS P System
offers protection and promotion
On a site bisected by the Greenwich Meridian line, the Elektron development consists of two 22-storey buildings and a 25-storey building that will provide 437 apartments in the Tower Hamlets borough of London.
Sub-contractors Atlantic Contracts Ltd (who are part of the Masterson Holdings Group of companies that also include Getjar Ltd and Glencoe Plant Services Ltd) complimented SKYDECK aluminium panel slab formwork with the RCS P (Rail climbed protection panels) system on all three buildings. While protecting personnel from poor weather and falls from height, the system also provides access platforms around the slab formwork; this results in safer slab preparation and concreting.
Aside from the safety bene-fits enjoyed by Atlantic, the system also provided their client - Barratt Homes – an opportunity to promote their venture on over 1,500 m² of advertising space in a prominent, and otherwise very expensive, location.
The steel frames for the RCS P panels were pre-assembled at the PERI depot in Rugby and shipped to site where they were completed with timber struts and faced with plywood. Finally they were finished with Barratt’s logo and advertising message before being attached to the structure with PERI´s award-winning climbing shoe.

“Following our successful use of the RCS P system on a previous project we had no hesitation in specifying it for the Elektron Buildings. The RCS P panels created a safe working environment and provided protection from the wind and rain allowing construction to proceed on programme.”
