Fulton & Fifth Blocks A, E, & D are structurally complete

Structural delivery of Regal’s Fulton & Fifth development is ahead of schedule, with Blocks A, E, and D now structurally complete, just over 1 year after PCE started on site.  

Fulton & Fifth is a large scale mixed-use development comprising 5 towers rising up to 28 storeys tall. With over 850 modern apartments, it will bring a new neighbourhood of apartments and luxury amenities sitting amongst landscaped gardens and a new green waterside park. 

Using PCE’s hyTower® systemised build solution, Fulton & Fifth blends precast concrete and reinforced structural steel, delivered through an offsite manufactured kit of parts.  

The kit of parts is comprised of standardised components that have been configured specific to the project. It enables a structural solution that is pre-engineered for certainty of outcome, with components designed and manufactured in such a way the enhances quality whilst reducing embodied carbon.

Assured Assembly

With standardised principles and repeatable design philospohies, PCE’s offsite hyTower® solution brings added value across assembly.  

It has enabled fast installation whilst maintaining safe standards, with Blocks A and E, and D, totalling over 60 stories, now structurally complete. Each tower has 1 allocated assembly team, comprising of 13 operatives covering erection, grouting, and finishing.  

Through offsite integration, windows and façades are already fitted to components before they arrive to site. This enables weatherproofing as the structure is assembled. Coupled with the absence of back-propping, the hyTower® solution for Fulton & Fifth has allowed follow on trades faster access compared to traditional construction techniques. This means they can commence fit out much sooner in the assembly process, enabling a faster overall installation phase.  

It is these added value benefits that have enhanced safety, quality, and speed across the Fulton & Fifth development. 

Daniel Frett, Project Lead from Regal, noted:  

''PCE have worked tirelessly on achieving two huge milestones for Fulton & Fifth. Achieving the topping out of any structure is significant in its own right but to achieve the topping out of two blocks several weeks ahead of programme is testament to the team’s hard work and attitude. Fulton & Fifth, comprising 876 apartments, 294 of which are affordable, and more than two acres of landscaped public area, is a significant project, and with PCE’s help, we’re on track to deliver in 2026.''

Considerate Construction

Through value engineering and offsite manufacturing, PCE’s design team were able to find opportunities to reduce material usage and waste, ensuring a more sustainable solution. This includes:  

• up to 50% cement replacement in concretes and 100% recycled steel reinforcement 

• saving 75 tonnes of embodied carbon through the exclusion of plasterboard in stairs and cores 

• Improved sustainability across stages A1-A5 enables Fulton & Fifth to achieve 239kgCO2e/m2, meeting LETI targets for 2020. 

• hyTower® reduces embodied carbon by 32% compared to traditional build techniques in comparable projects. 

By its nature, offsite construction takes activity away from the construction site. For a delivery like Fulton & Fifth, this is key to reducing disturbance to the local community. This means significantly less site deliveries (up to 80% less), vastly reduced site activity, and therefore, substantially less dust, noise, traffic, and disruption to local residents and commuters.  

PCE’s offsite DfMA delivery system benefits from the latest in digital construction, with advanced 3D digital twin technology visualising project progress in real-time. It helps ensure a coordinated just-in-time delivery strategy, aiding in a solution that causes as little disruption as possible.  

Collaboration

By aligning PCE’s build systems with Regal's vision, we have collaboratively demonstrated the value of offsite modular construction through the principles of Design for Manufacture and Assembly. It has enabled a design and build solution that is faster and safer than traditional construction, with the added value of significant reduction in disruption and embodied carbon.
