    Equans were proud to host a topping out ceremony this April to mark the placement of the final panel installed to Eslanda Robeson House, part of Glengall Road. Representing a significant milestone in our journey to provide exceptional living spaces for LSE students.

    As part of the ceremony held on 22nd April, Larry Kramer, President and Vice Chancellor of LSE, David Webb, Professor of Finance and Former Pro-Director of Planning and Resources and CFO of LSE, Laurentiu Prodan, Director of DIF Captial Partners, and Jake Fellows, Managing Director at Equans signed the final panel before it was installed in place.

    Larry Kramer from LSE said: "What's exciting about this project is the many ways in which it is unique - from how it was funded and built, both done in innovative and maximally efficient ways, to how it will be used. Residential life is a critical part of the student experience, and Eslanda Robeson House will offer our students matchless opportunities both to interact with each other and to participate in and become part of the local community."


    Jake Fellows from Equans commented: "Equans is proud to be a part of the Esland Robeson House development alongside partners, LSE and SPARK Living. This topping out milestone marks a special moment in our shared commitment to enhancing student living experiences and redefining educational spaces. Eslanda Robeson House will not only provide modern, sustainable accommodation for LSE graduate students, but will also serve as a catalyst for shaping futures and enriching lives. At Equans, with our extensive expertise in supporting universities to achieve net-zero carbon targets, we take great pride in our role in this project, re-shaping the educational landscape and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations."

  • University students given valuable insight into construction industry

    Earlier this month, in partnership with the London South Bank University (LSBU), Equans welcomed first year students to site to give them a first-hand insight into the world of construction.

    At the beginning of March, Equans Senior Project Manager, Alex Emirali welcomed a group of first year university students to the Glengall Road site where they were given an escorted tour of the site to give them a real life understanding of what's involved with project management in relation to the scheme.

    Starting with a full site safety induction, Alex then gave a detailed presentation covering the fundamentals of the project, a video showcasing the scheme's expected programme and finished look and finally a detailed review of the process taken on site when visited by an auditor of the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

    Alex also explained the challenges, constraints and issues experienced to date and answered any questions the students had. This was then followed by a tour around the site where the students could see in real-time some of the issues that had been spoken about in the presentation.

    The group of students, who are studying construction management, were a mix of architectural technologists, project managers, site managers and surveyors. Dr James Bishop, course leader for construction management at LSBU also attended.

    The day ended with a brief Q&A session where students were invited to ask any questions they had about the scheme and the works being delivered.

  • Top marks from Considerate Constructors Scheme continues into new year

    After receiving their first audit (fourth overall) from the Considerate Constructors Scheme earlier this month, the Glengall Road site team have once again achieved top marks!

    For an amazing third time, the team at Glengall Road achieved the full 15 marks possible in each of the three categories of 'Respect the Community', 'Care for the Environment' and 'Value their Workforce', achieving an impressive score of 45/45.

    On 15th January, a CCS monitor undertook a virtual video conference with Project Manager, Alex and Trainee Site Manager, Samson, commenting things like "Overall, the site demonstrated excellent practices across the checklist to meet the Code of Considerate Practice. This is further enhanced by a range of project plans that span across the three sections of community, environment and workforce."

    The CCS is an independent organisation founded to raise standards in the construction industry to ensure all construction sites present an image of competent management, efficiency, awareness of environmental issues and above all neighbourliness. Monitors from the scheme regularly audit our sites to ensure we are adhering to the scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice which is designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirement.

    Each audit is split into three categories; respect for the community, protecting the environment and valuing the workforce each with a potential score out of 15 with a total combined max score of 45 available. To score above 13 in any category warrants an excellent level of achievement for that category.

    Congratulations to Samson, Alex and the rest of the site team, and well done for achieving top marks again.
