Prater to deliver roofing package on Battersea regeneration

Prater has been appointed to deliver roofing and facade works on two key areas of the £8 billion redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.

The mixed-use development is set to create over 3,500 new homes – which will turn Battersea into one of London’s most thriving, holistic communities.

Work began on site at the end of last year, with Prater appointed by Carillion to carry out Phase 1 works comprising of blocks RS-1A and RS-1B – two ancillary buildings on the Battersea Power Station site. The specialist contractor will provide copper cladding, glazing & structural waterproofing to RS-1B, followed by a bespoke glazing system and traditional zinc cladding to the Penthouse Lanterns of RS-1A. Prater will also apply glazed balustrades and primary and secondary steelwork to both buildings.

Once complete, the redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station site will comprise of a variety of retail stores, restaurants and bars, a six-acre park, a community theatre, and residential apartments, which will provide views of the internal courtyard and rooftop gardens as well as the Thames.

“Our teams have a wealth of expertise working on high profile residential projects as well as managing construction and deliveries when sites are situated close to busy working railways,” said Stuart Whiting Associate Director at Prater.

“Battersea Power Station is an iconic London landmark and we are incredibly proud to be involved with Phase 1 of its regeneration.

"At the heart of the project is the desire to preserve as much of the site’s heritage as possible, so we are working closely with our project partners to create a modern mixed-use development whilst retaining the design characteristics of the original site.”
