RLSD Shaping the London Skyline<br />
St Pancras International, London<br />
The £800m redevelopment, extension and<br />
re-branding of St Pancras International<br />
echoes the opulence of New York’s Grand<br />
Central Station, and features a wide<br />
range of top quality retail stores, as well<br />
as Europe’s longest champagne bar, and<br />
even a daily fresh farmers’ market.<br />
Famed for it’s recently introduced Eurostar<br />
train service to continental Europe, the<br />
need to accommodate the unusually long<br />
Eurostar trains necessitated the extension<br />
of the architecturally iconic Barlow Shed.<br />
Longer trains also means longer platforms<br />
and longer decking spans. RLSD were the obvious choice for providing decking profiles<br />
capable of spanning great lengths without compromising load carrying capacity.<br />
