A partnership between St George and Morrisons, Camden Goods Yard saw the existing site redeveloped into a hybrid development, encompassing a new Morrisons supermarket, residential and retail units, affordable workspace for SMEs, and community facilities such as a rooftop farm.

Our piling works involved the design and construction of preliminary pile load tests to verify design parameters, a dividing contiguous piled wall, and bearing piles to several high-rise residential structures along with the Morrisons supermarket. All were within a partially excavated basement constructed by another contractor during Phase 1.

A Variety: Mini & Large

We deployed a range of modern low emissions, large diameter piling rigs from our fleet along with restricted access mini piles. Long pile cages and site logistics required the use of crawler lift cranes. Heavily reinforced piles were also needed for several crane bases.

Logistics: Several Challenges

The site presented several challenges, including live railway traffic to the east and west boundaries, neighbouring residential properties to the north and south, and a Thames Water sewer running across. The site was also terraced, meaning piling was carried out from several levels. To boost efficiency and reduce embedded carbon, piles were long and slender, extending to depths of 47 metres in some cases.
