Tide sweeps board at Chicago award ceremony to reach new heights on global stage
 

UK modular development company Tide Construction reaches new heights on the global stage

UK Modular Developer and Contractor, Tide Construction Limited with its volumetric modular company Vision Modular Systems recently received five Awards of Excellence at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Awards in Chicago; Best Tall Building 100-199 metres; Best Tall Residential Building; Construction Award; Innovation Award, and an overall category win for Structural Engineering. These accolades were awarded to Tide and Vision alongside the design team, including MJH Structural Engineers, Barrett Mahony Consulting Engineers and HTA Design, for the work completed on Tide’s Croydon residential development, Ten Degrees.

This international recognition places Tide alongside iconic buildings and fellow 2022 winners, including Dubai’s Museum of the Future and KPF’s One Vanderbilt, the tallest office tower in Midtown Manhattan, and follows an Award of Distinction earlier in the year for Innovation at the World of Modular conference in Texas.

The CTBUH is a world-leading organisation for those working on the future of cities, the role of urban density and of vertical growth. Celebrating innovative developments in the construction of tall buildings worldwide, the annual CTBUH Conference and Awards recognises the achievements of those working at the height of these ambitions and how vertical construction can make our cities more sustainable and healthier.

CTBUH stated “Vision Modular Systems has championed the use of modular construction in buildings greater that 100m tall, bringing offsite construction legitimately into the realm of skyscrapers

 

Tide and Vision’s winning development, Ten Degrees, is an exemplar of its track record of building greener, safer, faster and better-quality homes. Comprising 44- and 38-storey towers and reaching a total height of 136m, Ten Degrees is the first modular building over 40 storeys to be delivered in the world and construction was completed in just 26 months.

The towers were designed by Tide and Vision with HTA Design and delivered using Tide’s sister company Vision Modular Systems with engineering by MJH Structural Engineers and Barrett Mahony Consulting Engineers using advanced 3D volumetric methods. The scheme is now owned by Greystar; a global leader in rental housing and Henderson Park; a pan-European private real estate equity platform.

Ten Degrees shows how modular construction can contribute to global industry innovation while responding to worldwide housing, skills and sustainability challenges. Providing 546 new Build-to-Rent homes for the London borough of Croydon, this development also puts Tide and Vision at the forefront of placemaking.

John Fleming, Chairman and Founder of Tide Construction & Vision Modular Systems, said:

These awards recognise Tide Vision and indeed the UK’s industry-leading position worldwide. The work delivered on Ten Degrees demonstrates how we can revolutionise construction methods while providing high quality housing faster, safer, and more sustainably at scale, both in the UK and globally.

“It is an honour to receive such high-profile accolades from the CTBUH, an organisation that continues to actively shape the future of the urban environment and lead the way in sustainable vertical urbanism. This recognition also testifies to the momentum building up for volumetric construction in the UK and across the globe.

We believe we are demonstrating the potential of volumetric modular as a mainstream method of construction and our track record is showcasing the many benefits it brings with a particular importance to ESG. We are determined to drive forward the delivery of smarter, greener, quality homes with our significant pipeline planned for 2023 and beyond.
