Building award winner The Shard Construction Methodology

摘要

The Shard is part of the ￡2bn mixed use London Bridge Quarter redevelopment adjacent to London Bridge station. An innovative construction methodology aims to reduce cost, enhance the construction programme and reduce programme risk.rnThe principal concept was to "jump-start" the concrete core and steel structure to allow simultaneous construction above and below ground to begin simultaneously. When complete the Shard will be Europe's tallest building and the iconic Renzo Piano design will redefine London's skyline.
