A double-storey basement beneath a new residential property in Chelsea, Kimbolton Row was hemmed in by substantial buildings on every elevation. Geostructural Solutions was awarded the £1.9 million basement package, with the piling self-delivered by sister company GSS Piling, forming the basement along with substantial drainage sumps and service pits.
Restricted access piling was the only viable methodology. We also adopted top-down construction, using the ground floor slab as a permanent prop while maintaining clear hard standing for the movement of plant and materials. Our client commended the delivery, which was completed on time and within budget.
