Our latest blueroof project on The Post Building is complete.
The Post Building is the former Royal Mail Sorting Office located on New Oxford Street in Central London. It will provide Grade A office space, with street level retail and restaurant space along with rooftop gardens, terraces, and leisure areas.
ABG worked closely with AHMM Architects, Arup and Laing O’Rourke to develop a blueroof design to meet the clients brief while also taking into consideration the four pillars of good SuDS design – Amenity, Biodiversity, Quality and Quantity.
The blue roof acts as a normal roof during clement weather, but during critical storm events it controls stormwater run off, continuously releasing storm water at a controlled rate until empty. The discharge rate is site specific and forms part of the scheme wide SuDS plan, and means that other downstream measures are not required.
Working for Briggs Amasco, ABG supplied all the materials for the blue roofs, and the complex installation was completed by Geogreen, our installation company. The blueroof comprised three roof areas and the scheme also included sedum green roofs to two further areas. All other finishes were completed by others.
