Brent Cross South

Brent Cross South (BXS) is a project in the heart of north London, looking to create a vibrant new town centre. It will deliver a variety of new homes and workspaces, a new high street with local shops and restaurants, improved transport connections with a new Thameslink station serving the area, improved walking and cycle routes and new community facilities.

Project Scope

Our Key Responsibilities

Gattica early engagement in the project has ensured that evolvement of the masterplan and the design development of the utility infrastructure complement each other, rather than raise costly problems to be rectified at a later date. Gattica Associates are closely working with UK Power Networks, Thames Water and National Grid Gas for sitewide and phased diversions and new supplies. To ensure a competitive market for new supplies, Gattica Associates initiated negotiations with independent utility providers for the supply of gas water and electricity. Gattica responsibilities include:

• Advice regarding how utilities affect the masterplan as it evolves
• Coordinate the diversion or abandonment of utilities in phases, ensuring the surrounding buildings and residential areas are kept live
• Relocation or protection of over 30 substations
• Disconnection and meter removal of all buildings prior to demolition
• Realignment, lowering and raising of existing utility infrastructure due to undulating levels
• Master planning of site wide incoming networks
• Calculating high level plot loads for procurement of new supplies
• Review of offsite procurement strategy with Brent Cross North developer
