Having supplied the original screw-jack pedestals that support the raised access paving at the entrance to ExCeL London, Buzon UK has recently delivered a further consignment to the international exhibition and convention centre, as the paving has been relaid to create a new look.
In total, Buzon UK has supplied 15,000 adjustable, freestanding screw-jack pedestals for the ExCeL project and they now carry some 2,500m² of granite paving. When the paving was relaid, all the existing pedestals were reused and additional units were only ordered because the new paving tiles are smaller than the originals so extra supports were required.
Buzon’s pedestal range is used on prestigious architectural projects throughout the world to deliver outstanding functionality and cost performance. Designed to create raised access external and internal floors, the pedestals are corrosion and damp proof. They are manufactured from 80% recycled and 100% recyclable polypropylene to offer an eco friendly solution along with providing durability, stability and strength.
Mike Wilderink, Managing Director of Buzon UK, comments: “The live load capabilities at the entrance to ExCel are extremely high because, as well as pedestrian traffic, it’s used for vehicle access; vehicles will be parked on the deck for the Motor Show.
"Buzon UK’s pedestals are designed to support up to a two tonne load per unit so are ideal for this application and offer proven performance.”
