RenRe, otherwise known as RenaissanceRe, is a contract Bryair are currently working on. After going on a site visit, it is clear the company dedicates significant time. We ensure projects progress seamlessly and clients get the services they desire.
Scott Newstead, project manager at Bryair, gave me the opportunity to be shown around. Scott has worked on this project since January when validation began. He stated that, now the project is ending, he will be available whenever he is needed. When the works first began in March, he was here permanently on site.
The works began firstly to refit the 22nd and 23rd floors from scratch. As works developed, focus moved to the 18th and 19th, supplying upgrades to the floors. Scott suggested that once the 22nd and 23rd floors were completed, RenRe could relocate staff from the 18th and 19th floors. Allowing the team to proceed with phased works to these floors. The transition was seamless and efficient, allowing RenRe to trade without disruption.
The 22nd and 23rd Floor
On the 22nd and 23rd floor is where modern meets timeless. HOP constructed both office spaces fitted with sleek with up-to-date features for workers to utilise. Bryair completed them with mechanical services.
The 22nd floor offers unique aspects from single person booths to board rooms and offices that have newly installed cooling systems with staggering views of St Pauls Cathedral.
The 23rd floor, although similar to the 22nd, offers staff with a wellness room. This is where a masseuse comes in once a week. It receives plumbing services by Bryair, ultimately keeping staff within the office space. The plumbing has additionally served a new tea point drop off. This ensures employees have anything they could ever want within the walls of their working environment.
Other works on these floors include (but are not limited to):
- Isolation and disconnection of secondary ductwork from existing FCU’s and of CHW pipework to 48 FCU’s being replaced on both floors.
- Acoustically lined discharge plenums and drip trays.
- Supply air and return air plenums for the new loft lobbies.
- New supply and return air valves for WC’s.
- 1st and 2nd fix plumbing services on the 22nd floor for tea point areas, bar / break-out and prep tea point room.
- 1st and 2nd fix plumbing services on the 23rd floor for new tea point areas, wellness room and tea point drop off.
- 2nd fix of all new sanitaryware to the new male, female and cleaners cupboards.
The 18th and 19th Floor
When we visited, they had not yet completed work on the 18th and 19th floors. This allowed us to experience the behind-the-scenes hustle and bustle of installing mechanical features for the office spaces. Seeing this first hand is completely unique to seeing it in drawing form at the office or as an already completed workspace.
18th floor
On the 18th floor, Scott informed me and James about the upcoming works such as: leak detection linked to a sensing cable, the disconnection of mechanical grilles and plenum boxes from secondary ductwork and the supply and installation of mechanical grilles and plenum boxes from secondary ductwork and the supply and installation of new secondary ductwork to units suiting the proposed layout. They then showed us a new tea point area; tea point drop off and coffee station with 1st and 2nd fix plumbing services.
19th floor
On the 19th floor, the work includes relocating two wall controllers that display FCU locations, installing first and second fix plumbing services to supply a new tea point area with water and a point-of-use water heater, fitting new toilets and basins in the marked-up bathrooms ready for cut-out and installing heat meters.
These lists represent only a small part of the work planned for the 18th and 19th floors.
The RenRe site visit will demonstrate to everyone how Bryair Mechanical values hard work and determination, as shown by the completed 22nd and 23rd floors. Moving through the building to the 18th and 19th floor, these floors are representative of the dedication our team puts in behind the scenes. Bryair ensures deadlines are met and work is not just up to satisfaction but goes above and beyond expectations.
