Unilever House is situated at the busy junction at the north end of Blackfriars Bridge. A detailed schedule listing all elements of the building was produced, identifying those that could be re-used or recycled, and those which could be given away for re-use. Doors, marble, parquet flooring, fireplaces, light fittings and grilles, the historic Gill lift panels and timber panels have all been re-used. Up to 5000 m2 of original parquet flooring was re-used, Over 6000 tonnes of steel was removed during deconstruction and has been recycled, Deliveries to site were consolidated in South East London to cut down the number of vehicles required reducing CO2 emissions, Timber purchased for the project is from sustainable managed sources and FSC certified. Kingspan Access Floors supplied and installed over 20,000 square metres of RMG panels back in April 2006. All panels supplied were FSC certified, contributing considerably to Unilevers’ sustainable achievements.
