Glory Park, Wooburn Green, High Wycombe
Site Stairs provides safe and easy access for new office developments
During September 2006 HBG purchased the Glory Park site in Wooburn Green, High Wycombe for £12.6 million. The former Glory Mill paper mill site, close to junction 3 of the M40, comprises 10.2 acres and had outline planning consent for a total of approximately 222,207 sq ft (20,643 sq m) of office development.
Atlantic Contracts (who are part of the Masterson Holdings Group of Companies that also include Getjar Ltd) were chosen by HBG for the sub-contractor role, and are currently halfway through construction of the first phase, which comprises three buildings of 29,000 sq ft, 19,000 sq ft and 16,000 sq ft. This part of the build is expected to be completed by next March and HBS says there is interest from four occupiers, including housing support company Housing 21, which has shortlisted the largest building as one of three potential locations for its headquarters. In order to gain access onto the three and four storey buildings that were under construction, Atlantic Contracts chose PERI’s Site Stair Towers. The PERI UP site stair is erected as a 10-leg tower, and with landing widths of 100 or 150 cm it provides a safe and easy access system. With stair widths of 100 cm, PERI’s site stairs allow comfortable passing and transportation of injured persons, a request that is becoming increasingly predominant from contractors.

PERI UP is a flexible and easy scaffolding system to erect, without the need for a specialist scaffolder on site. After a brief training session with a PERI demonstrator my team could quickly and efficiently assemble the necessary parts. This makes it far simpler to erect than competitor systems, saving the developers time and money. Overall a convenient, safe, flexible and effective scaffolding system.
