Track Record

Brian Dunlop Associates have an expanding portfolio of projects including:

• Energy Centre Click image to enlarge in new window Combined Services Corridor Click image to enlarge in new window Elephant & Castle Energy and Environmental Services Click image to enlarge in new window

  The creation of a Multi-Utility Services Company (MUSCo) to provide bundled energy, data and water services to the £1.5 billion redevelopment of the Elephant & Castle in the London Borough of Southwark. The MUSCo will design, build, finance and operate two new energy centres, community heating, chilled water and private wire power networks, a supply of untreated groundwater for non-potable use and a 'fibre to the unit' data services network.
• Environmental masterplanning proposals for the redevelopment of canal-side land at Warwick Bar in central Birmingham covering microclimate, carbon emissions, water management, biodiversity, access and movement, public realm and land use.
• A residential development within the Marais floodplain north of St Peter Port on the island of Guernsey, where the site context and the planning brief required a holistic approach to urban design incorporating elements of landscape, ecology and sustainable flood management.
• The techno-economic assessment of site-wide renewable energy resources at Elephant and Castle, and locally derived sources of renewable fuel within Southwark.

• An urban wind resource trial using commercially available horizontal axis and vertical axis turbines mounted on a 13 storey building in central London.

• A detailed technical review of the energy and microclimate sections of the planning application for a 69 storey mixed use tower in south London specifically: legislative and planning policy context; aspirations/targets; approach and methodology; scheme development; environmental impact assessment; impacts and mitigation.
