The Madison, London

Brogan Group played a prominent role in the landmark Madison Tower Project in Canary Wharf, London. The new build is 53 storeys, 181 metres high, providing 423 residential apartments in the centre of the capital. Our provision for this project included a passenger / goods hoist and scaffolding. However, most notably, provided a brand new combined access solution: The CAS Tower and Colossus Hoist.

Our addition of design, hire and installation of the CAS Tower to its range of services is a response to the growing number of high-rise projects upcoming in London. Employing CAS Towers affords maximum capacity for the transport of materials and personnel to optimum working heights with minimum interference. We are one of just a few access contractors to provide design, hire and installation of the CAS Tower in London.

Brogan Group also introduced the Colossus Hoist during the Madison Project. This is the largest Hoist in the market. With a length of 5 metres, a width of 3.1 metres and a height of 3.1 metres, it safely carries 40 passengers or 4000kg up to 350m high at a lifting speed of 40 metres per minute.

Brogan Group used the CAS Tower and Colossus to provide access to The Madison Tower project due to unique challenges, such as the height of the Pods which had to be placed in to the building via Colossus. The CAS Tower was used in combination with the Colossus to distribute the large pods 181m high. Using the CAS Tower ensured there was three access points at different levels at any time (Colossus Hoist, Passenger/Goods Hoist and Staircase). This ensured that once the pods were fitted, this could continue above, whilst façade was being installed on completed floors below.

The Madison represents, not only a London landmark, but a landmark project for Brogan Group, being the first combined use of the CAS Tower and Colossus hoists. This project demonstrated our commitment to innovation and using the latest access technology to enable clients to build bigger and better.
