Project
Kew Gardens Temperate House opened in 1862 and to date is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world! Major refurbishment started in 2013, to bring this incredible Grade I listed building back to its former glory. The bulk of the 4-year project comprised the removal and replacement of all of the original glass panes, as well as repair and maintenance of the steel frame.
Generation was contacted at a very early stage to work closely with the scaffolding contractor to provide all of the required access scaffolding, together with a very sizable temporary UNI Roof; The customer knew that such a large and important job needed the help of a company with vast amounts of experience in this field.
Generation Frimley worked closely with their client to provide over 700 tons of equipment delivered directly to the site of Kew Gardens.
