Bluewater Plaza




Client: Lend Lease

Location: Upper Rose Gallery, Bluewater

Completed: October 2011

Project Type

  • Gas connections
  • Supply and installation of commercial gas meter kiosks

The Project

Fulcrum was commissioned to install services and GC4 gas meter kiosks to three new restaurants, 'Balans', 'Wahaca' and 'Jamie's Italian' as part of a redevelopment project within the Bluewater Plaza.

About The Site

Bluewater is Europe's largest retail and leisure destination. It opened in 1999 and is located among 50 metre high cliffs, and surrounded by a landscape of lakes, parkland and trees.

Our Approach

Bluewater approached Fulcrum to install gas to three new restaurants - 'Balans', 'Wahaca' and 'Jamie's Italian'. The customer selected Fulcrum as they required a partner who could deliver the fast turnaround necessary to meet the project's overall schedule. As this was a technically complex project with engineering difficulties, including roof top meter positions and welded steel mains, we completed an initial site meeting to discuss specific requirements and survey the works.

The Technical Part

Fulcrum installed over 60 metres of low pressure steel gas service pipe from the existing gas mains, which terminated in three separate GC4 kiosks to supply the three new restaurants 'Balans', 'Wahaca' and 'Jamie's Italian'.

A Dedicated Delivery

Field Officer, Richard Hooper:

"The customer was under contract to deliver the space to the retailers by October 14th 2011. With close supervision and excellent communication between Operations and our head office in Sheffield, together with the full cooperation of our service providers and their workforce, the works were completed to our customer's expectations, on time."

What Our Customers Say

"I would like to thank Richard and his team for making sure that all our gas supplies were installed to our retail units within the tight deadlines we had. Without this we would not have met our official opening date for the restaurants.

Your continued support and feedback was appreciated and due to your action I will ensure that Fulcrum will be considered for any future works at Bluewater. Please pass my thanks to all your team that made it happen."
