The Olympia exhibition site redevelopment incorporated the existing Grade II listed structures along with the construction of seven new buildings and a live music venue.

With a value of more than £1.5 million, our specialist restricted access piling services were carried out during several visits between spring 2020 and the end of 2021. Our client delivered brilliant feedback, saying: “From the first piles in the West Hall secant wall back in April 2020 and all the visits across the project since, your team have been a pleasure to work with and made some incredibly challenging work look effortless.”

Existing Basement: Difficult Access

The works involved secant retaining walls and bearing piles at locations within the existing basement structures with difficult access and limited headroom. Pile diameters ranging from 300 to 600 mm were constructed by the cased rotary and segmental flight auger (SFA) methods, using concrete and grout mixes respectively. 

We deployed our Super Kitten, Klemm 702 and Klemm 709 piling rigs to install the piles to depths in excess of 28 metres, within a headroom limit of between 4.4 and 5.4 metres. Piling rigs often had to be craned into position due to the nature of the site.
