As the capital celebrates a triumphant bid to host the 2012 Olympics, Suffolk based firm English Architectural Glazing is celebrating its role in helping build the infrastructure needed to turn London into a world class sporting arena. London City Airport's station will convey passengers directly into the capital via the Docklands Light Railway. The work is part of the vital regeneration needed in the East End of London to make it capable of hosting such a high profile event.

EAG spent nine months developing the Systemstax product which involves glazing panels held in place by specially designed and engineered clamps and literally stacked one on top of another, rather than the traditional and expensive method of drilling holes through the glass units and supporting them on separate structures. EAG chose Camden Lock Market to be the first building to use Systemstax, as part of the contract to provide glazing, curtain walling, windows and brickwork for the new Camden Lock Market for Stanley Sidings.

Situated next door to the fastest growing airport in the UK, the SAS Radisson Hotel offers travellers an undisturbed night’s sleep coupled with unparalleled convenience. EAG was contracted by Skanska UK to provide the external envelope to this prestigious four star, 500 bedroom hotel, consisting of a Schuco curtain walling system, with the non-vision areas comprising insulated enamelled spandrels and aluminium rainscreen panels. In order that hotel guests were guaranteed a peaceful night’s rest, a very high level of acoustic performance was vital. This was achieved by using a glass configuration of 9.5 /16/10.5 unit construction incorporating acoustic interlayers and glazed into the curtain walling system. Working closely with scheme architects Aukett to meet with environmental performance criteria, bespoke acoustic trickle ventilators were installed in the atrium. The bold entrance façade and sharp edged design of the building follows the tradition of the Radisson brand. Upon completing the 8000m2 cladding contract, EAG won the coveted Sub Contractor of the Year Award for health and safety presented by Skanska Building UK in September 2004.
