These systems were designed to manage surface water runoff effectively, reduce pressure on drainage infrastructure, and enhance biodiversity through varied substrate and planting approaches. Collectively, they also contribute to improved thermal performance and long-term ecological value across the site.

The programme also incorporated a range of additional finishing elements including aluminium decking, and paved roof areas.

To support safe long-term access and compliance, mansafe systems were installed across all principal roof areas, ensuring secure maintenance routes and reducing operational risk for the facilities teams.
