Shard London Bridge
Southwark, London
The Shard London Bridge, at 310 metres high, is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, soaring more than 70 floors above London. Byrne Bros. were appointed by MACE to carry out the concrete substructure and superstructure works in a contract worth more than £50 million. The substructure was constructed using ‘top down’ techniques and the main structural core was slipformed in parallel; solutions which delivered significant programme advantages.
