Piled high

Our piling team is playing an important role in a new project in south London to provide a mix of accommodation reaching up nine storeys in a modern take on a 1960s classic.

In addition to the 271 apartments, the building at Stockwell Green will have a retail level on the ground floor and a basement car park.

We’ve been contracted to carry out a major piling operation consisting of about 1000 continuous flight auger (CFA) piles. These are for a horseshoe shaped retaining wall, which is partially load bearing, as well as for the foundations within the footprint to support the new structure.

The design meets a number of different needs, with a medley of piles differing in length and diameter, as well as steel reinforcement bars that range in length and number.
