The Shard - A Fixfast Case Study

The Shard, Europe's Tallest Building

Central London
Project Details
Architect: Renzo Piano
Location: Central London
Main contractor: Mace Group
Sub contractor: Structural Metal Decks
As Western Europe's tallest building, The Shard needs little introduction.

Its silhouette and design make it immediately recognisable and a transformer of the London skyline. A vertical city is contained within its 310m height, including offices, world-renowned restaurants, high-class residential apartments, a 5-star hotel and all-around views from London's highest viewing gallery.

Our fasteners were included in several contracts in this massive project, from the heart of the structure to the aesthetic details.
