Project_Escalator Removal
Sector_Shopping Centre
Hurst was tasked with removing an
escalator from an empty unit in a popular
shopping centre in West London, including
infilling pits and penetration creating,
ensuring a clean and ready-to-design
space for the new resident, Sephora.
The project faced several challenges due
to its location in a busy retail complex with
the potential to disrupt public services and
accessibility.
