Dear neighbours,
we have reached week 17 of the project. Already a quarter of the way through! Over the past few weeks we have been battling against the wettest April and early May in history. As you can appreciate this has made progress difficult as conditions were far from ideal for digging out a basement in London clay! Our main priority was to make sure that this difficulty did not impact on the roads surrounding the site and we employed a stringent wheel wash regime at the site entrance.
However the sun is now out and hopefully we can look forward to a glorious Summer. The last couple of weeks has certainly improved progress and the general mood on the site. The crucial step forward in progress is that we have built the first section of the building to come out of the ground. The south west wing now has walls (don’t worry they aren’t going to stay blue!) and the first floor slab is in progress. So far we have poured over 500m3 of concrete and laid over 400m of drainage.
Over the next two weeks we will be continuing with the basement slab and underground car park while progressing with the first floor to the South West wing.
The site will be closed over the long weekend and will not open again until Wednesday 6 June.
Have a good holiday.
yours sincerely
Rob Siddens – project manager
