Project Overview

Grade I* listed St Pancras International is a 19th century station, designed by William Henry Barlow. The site was constructed by Midland Railway and at the time of development had the largest single-span roof in the world. In the late 1960s, plans were made to demolish the station entirely leading to fierce opposition. However, the station underwent an £800 million refurbishment and became the terminal for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link/HS1, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2007.

Key Successes

After the cleaning process, Stonewest carried out a thorough inspection of the existing masonry and produced detailed façade repair surveys, photographs and annotated elevation drawings identifying individual defects and the proposed repairs.
Surveying, restoring, conserving and repairing masonry walls which included the restoration of over 300 gauged, red-rubber brick and limestone voussoir arches.
