Upper Riverside

Access to the O2 Arena and neighbouring buildings was maintained throughout the project. Innovative air remediation during the ground works phase, excellent neighbourhood engagement and innovative safety solutions resulted in one million man hours RIDDOR-free, exemplary CCS scores and Knight Dragon’s Greenwich Peninsula Safety Award in 2018.

‍

An innovative access method designed in collaboration with PERI integrated the PERI UP access system with a hydraulic climbing formwork system. Consisting of a cantilever deck, the climbing formwork system was suspended from concrete slabs below the working deck, providing our team with access to six levels at any one time.

‍

This optimised concrete operations and reduced the waiting times associated with traditional access systems. It also removed the need to build a traditional stair system on each building’s external elevation, thereby giving the cladding contractor clear access.

‍

The raft slab and supporting load bearing piles were designed to span across the two Jubilee line tunnels running beneath the site. The slab was an average 1.2 m deep, which involved the placement of circa 12,000 m³ of concrete. Due to its proximity to the LUL tunnels, the raft within building 2 required a layer of anti-vibration matting.

‍

Enabling works included the demolition of the existing foundation and the disconnection and diversion of all the utility services running through the site. This included BT, gas, water and O2 cabling, subsequently installing them via a newly constructed reinforced concrete tunnel.

‍

We were also involved in the initial design coordination and the later installation of a district heating network for the site and adjacent plots on the Peninsula.
