Refurbishment and relocation of the Grade II Listed Gasholder has now been completed. The fragile Victorian industrial icon was dismantled and removed from its site in King’s Cross for repairs, refurbishment and repainting. Argent, Arup, Shepleys and BAM Nuttal helped to develop a detailed methodology for the dismantling, repair and re-erection of this incredible structure. The guideframe now reclaims its place on the north London skyline, on a new site adjacent to the Regents Canal.
