1 Triton Square is exemplary for how ingenious structural engineering can be instrumental in maximising the value of the existing building stock as part of a low-carbon agenda.

A commercial office development built in the late 1990s in the London West End, 1 Triton Square had been designed to height limits which were no longer relevant when the tenant vacated the premises at the end of a twenty-year lease. When the building owner approached Arup to examine the possibility of enhancing the value of their asset, it was decided, instead of designing a taller new build, to develop a refurbishment and extension scheme, in line with both organisations’ low-carbon agenda.

The proposed scheme included the part-infilling of existing atria and the addition of three new levels, thus increasing the number of storeys from six to nine, and the floor area by 70%. Columns and foundations had to be strengthened to cater for the resulting uplift in loading. The original structure was predominantly a concrete frame, with steel-framed cores. Due to this variety of structural forms as well as to access constraints, a palette of strengthening methods was implemented, including concrete encasement and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping for concrete columns, and concrete encasement and welding of strengthening plates for steel columns. Existing piled foundations were strengthened with small-diameter supplementary piles installed from within the existing basement and connected to them within new pile caps or within a new piled raft, depending on locations.

1 Triton Square has been completed in May 2021, achieving BREEAM Outstanding rating. The structural embodied carbon associated with the redeveloped scheme has been estimated at 136 kgCO2e/m², to be compared to the October 2020 “best-practice” target of 350 kgCO2e/m² for a new build, thus demonstrating the pivotal role of structural reuse in reducing carbon emissions.
