This new development is offering 85,000 sqft of office space, including Chanel’s new London HQ, along with other retail space and terrace gardens. Our scope included 160 linear metres of embedded retaining wall, formed using hard/firm secant piles and installed using continuous flight auger (CFA) techniques to lengths ranging from 8 to 20 metres. We completed all piles in a single visit, utilising our Soilmec SR-75 piling rig. Despite the small site, our SR-75 was able to showcase its versatility and ability to work in restricted city centre sites.

Planning: Complex Logistics

The site location and access required a detailed pre-construction planning phase with J Coffey and the Main Contractor, Mace. As there were constraints imposed by neighbouring buildings and general ground levels to the small site, the secant piles had to be installed from three different platform levels. We overcame these challenges via proactive dialogue and solutions such as locating the concrete pump and agitator in the street outside the site.
