CPD SEMINAR

What are the seminar objectives?

1. Corrosion Protection of Steel by Hot Dip Galvanizing2. Galvanizing and sustainable construcion

How a CPD seminar will benefit you

The objective of the seminars is to develop a complete under-standing of hot dip galvanizing, enabling specifiers to make more informed decisions when selecting corrosion protection systems.

What is Galvanizers association?

Galvanizers Association is the market development and technical support organisation for the hot dip galvanizing industry. We are an authoritative source of information and advice on this increas-ingly important method of protecting steel against corrosion.

CHATHAM WATERFRONT BUS STATION

2012 GAGA Awards

D5 Architects

GAGA

The new Chatham Waterfront Bus Station (CWBS) is one of the key infrastructure projects within the £6billion Medway Regeneration plan and site at the centre of the surface transport network for the Medway towns and wider environs.

The CWBS replaces a 1960’s station located at first floor level within the adjacent Pentagon shopping centre that was locally known as ‘The Dark Side’ due to its largely internal nature with buses circulating around a circular track with passengers in the centre.

The creation of the new station offers a considerably improved passenger experience in line with 21stC expecta-tions, connects the shopping core of Chatham town centre with the waterfront area, increases public transport capac-ity and provides a fully accessible and safe environment for passengers, pedestrians and operators.

The site was not without its challenges including being on the floodplain from the adjacent River Medway, being in close proximity to the proposed Chatham Docks World Heritage Site and set within the existing and active road network. But many of these challenges for the construc-tion phase are now the major benefits the scheme offers providing improved pedestrian links within the established public realm and minimal change to the public transport net-work.

Conceived as a public open space where you can catch a bus, the layout of the scheme went through a number of iterations and consultation before the ideal layout was es-tablished which integrates 20 operational bus stands into the road system, a new manned public information centre for the local transport network plus the refurbishment of the

adjoining 19th C White House to create back of house op-erational facilities.

The design was conceived and developed as a public open space with platforms serving individual stands de-marked through canopy roofs formed as organic, soft edged objects floating over the space.

The site sits between town centre development and open parkland to the rivers edge and is surrounded by mature trees. The roof forms are articulated to sit within this land-scape and provide continuity and contrast.

Already a local landmark, the soft forms of the canopies attract easy labeling and recognition making the station a strong identifier for the orientation of those unfamiliar with the town centre.

Below the canopies the space is designed to flow with minimal barriers and for the benefit of the station user or casual pedestrian alike. Seating areas are demarked by frameless glazed screens providing protection from the el-ements but with minimal formality and edges are blurred throughout to create a seamless journey through the station to all sides.

Beneath the apparent simplicity of the built form, tech-nology is employed to track all vehicle movements and in-put into the real time system with reporting to all platforms and stands on service punctuality and timing. This system is designed or the future introduction of fully dynamic work-ing to increase future capacity for the station. This system will track all vehicles and allocate stands to each service as it approaches the station directing passengers to the live stand thus increasing efficiency, throughput, capacity and improving further the service to the users.

A Fine Balance

Th e architectural concept is to insert a contemporary, lightweight structure into the heavyweight structure of the historic building. Th is contrast is further enhanced by the use of hot-dip galvanized steel which provides a slightly industrial aesthetic against the traditional domesticity of the old house. Such a concept leaves the two eras of the house (nineteenth and twenty-fi rst centuries) visibly distinct – an approach that gained Planning Permission within a sensitive Conservation Area.

Th e detail of the design was developed in a process of close collaboration between Knott Architects and Michael Baigent Orla Kelly Structural Engineers. A delicate composition of beams, cantilevers and a zig-zag stair stringer give the impression of a fi nely balanced, hovering, structure. It is, of course, not balancing; but is a sturdy, robust structural frame. Into this frame are dropped a combination of glass, timber and grated steel panels are dropped.

Th e site has restricted access so the kit-of-parts needed to be fabricated off site and assembled using bolted connec-tions. Th e glass and grated panels allow for maximum daylight penetration. Joints are elegant and expressed, rather than concealed, lending the connections a pure honesty that is in tune with the purity of the raw zinc coating.
