The Delft’s complex location made it a challenging project to work on. Surrounding the site is Southwark Cathedral, the River Thames, residential space and a busy tourist area, meaning that it was crucial to minimise disruption and emissions.

Our scope included the design and installation of 61 no. 450 mm diameter case and auger mini-piles and 97 no. 600 mm diameter case and auger piles for temporary and permanent works. We worked alongside Morrisroe Demolition, who used a floating pontoon on the river to service the site and keep vehicle movements to a minimum.

Restricted Access: A Tight Space

Working alongside our sister companies Morrisroe Demolition and Morrisroe, we were able to develop a scheme that both delivered for the client and provided an efficient solution for the demolition and construction process. We were also able to showcase the depth of our restricted access fleets and the benefits of a cohesive Morrisroe approach from start to finish.

Early temporary works piles were installed using our Super Kitten piling rig in less than 3 metres of headroom. Subsequent piles were installed using our Klemm 702 rig in similar headroom, utilising 0.5 metre long segmental augers and casings to maximise load in restricted conditions.
