Permasteelisa Group has secured a contract to engineer, supply and install the facade for the 50 Fenchurch Street office tower being built by Multiplex.

The specialist’s Gartner brand will work in partnership with Permasteelisa UK on the 36-storey by Eric Parry Architects which will be one of the lowest carbon and most biodiverse high-rise towers in the country.

Permasteelisa Group’s Closed Cavity Façade (CCF) technology, with integrated automated blinds to maximise daylight while controlling solar gain, will be installed on the main tower, while the lower floors and new Clothworkers’ Hall feature a double-height stick system, terracotta-clad columns and hand-set stone.

Permasteelisa Group’s CEO, Liam Cummins, said: “This contract provides further evidence of our ongoing commitment to executing key projects in London. We look forward to once again partnering with Multiplex to safely and successfully deliver this exciting scheme.

“Our innovative Closed Cavity Façade will help this building meet its goal of being Net Zero once operational and we are very proud to play a part in the construction of what is a ground-breaking project.”
