The central slip form core of the St Pancras Commercial Centre is being poured. The process uses an efficient rig system to pour the concrete, and will take around 4 weeks to complete. Once the slip form is done horizonal slabs will be cast to make the structure rigid.
The project for the developer W·RE is for three buildings: an office building with deep floors, that accommodates the industrial spaces on the lower levels; and two housing buildings with a total of thirty-three flats.
