The Drummond House project stands as a testament to the adaptability, precision, and
excellence that defines CJ Charlton Group Ltd. Once the former headquarters for RBS bank
in Scotland, the transformation of this iconic building demanded a skillset only few could
provide. Here, we invite you to explore the amazing transformation, from before to after,
detailing the challenges faced and the expertise employed to bring this project to
completion.
The building presented a range of unique challenges. It was not just any corporate building;
it housed a massive safe area with one-meter-thick concrete walls, layers of 60mm steel bar,
and a foundation ring beam sat onto 1.3M diameter concrete piles. Additionally, a large
basement level lay hidden beneath the ground.
The process of transforming Drummond House required a complex combination of
demolition, excavation, and construction work. CJ Charlton Group had the knowledge,
experience, and equipment to tackle these challenges.
The safe area, with its thick walls and reinforced structure, was a
remarkable feat of engineering. The challenge lay in safely removing these formidable
obstacles. Our team methodically and safely dismantled this complex structure.
The large basement level required careful excavation
and infilling once the foundations had been removed. This process demanded careful
planning and execution.
The completed Drummond House project is a marvel of modern engineering, encapsulating
the ability to repurpose, transform, and innovate. Our commitment to excellence and
precise planning allowed us to deliver the project ready for handover to our client.
The Drummond House project showcases what can be achieved when knowledge,
experience, and technology come together. From the intricate removal of the safe area to
the completion of the building, CJ Charlton Group’s expertise was instrumental at every
stage.
This transformation is not just a triumph of demolition; it’s a symbol of our commitment to
our clients and our ability to take on complex and demanding projects.
