30 St Mary Axe

The SCX Group successfully completed the design, manufacture and installation of innovative access equipment for all 40 floors of the prestigious Norman Foster designed building in the centre of London.

The exterior cladding of 30 St Mary Axe, affectionately known as 'The Gherkin', consists of approximately 5,500 flat triangular and diamond shaped glass panels, which vary in size at each level. Providing a facade access solution for the high profile building was a challenge that many considered too difficult, but one that SCX welcomed with great enthusiasm.
