  One Nine Elms: £53m Careys was appointed to construct the basement substructure package at One Nine Elms. Our scope of works includes construction of a three-level substructure basement using top down methodology. Utilising pre-installed plunge columns, additional stubb columns were installed to support a logistical ground floor slab that is designed to deal with construction loading.We employed coordinated craneage, access routes, access gantry and mole holes to enable the optimum basement programme to be provided that deals with the specific engineering constraints imposed by the location and unique details of the project.Principal Place: £31mCareys was awarded a number of packages at the Principal Place residential scheme in Shoreditch, London. Our works involve the construction of 3 residential towers - a 50-storey, a 15-storey and a 5-storey tower, as well as the basement that ranges between two and four levels across the site and is being constructed ‘top-down’ as well as ‘blue-sky’.

  Lots Road Power Station, London; £10mThis project is an example of a successfully delivered demolition package. Scudder was Principal Contractor on this complex demolition project with the site forming part of “Lots Road Village” and have worked closely with Careys Design Team on the development of their temporary works proposal. The facade retention project involved asbestos removal (completed by ION), soft stripping, structural alterations and temporary works. Various heritage items were removed and stored for reuse in the new structure. The site is bounded by the River Thames and a London Underground electrical substation, meaning that work is taking place on a tight footprint.By using careful deconstruction techniques, we significantly reduced the effects that vibrations and movements could have on fragile parts of the existing structure. We utilised 3D modelling to plot our temporary works and avoid clashes with both the existing and proposed structures. Throughout planning work, we were able to identify a unique method of utilising the existing chimney structures to aid the temporary support and reduce the amount of steel we needed to import. As temporary works designer on this project, I was responsible for all temporary works and structural alterations to allow the installation of the facade retention scheme and initial site set-up

  Rathbone Square, London: £44mCareys were principal contractor for this Central London project that entailed the demolition of the decommissioned Royal Mail head office, excavations and complex temporary works to the substructure, and the superstructure construction of two multipurpose buildings, seven and nine storeys high, which will include office, residential and retail space. The site is 2.3 acres and borders Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, meaning that logistics and access have been key to the project. Furthermore, there are neighbouring 5* hotels and recording studios in the vicinity and as such we had to carefully monitor and limit noise and vibration levels. As quality engineer, I was responsible for the implementation of Careys Quality manual which I had helped develop. This included responsibilities for Concrete management, Reinforcement Management and Waterproofing during the construction of the substructure.

  Kingsgate House, London: £32mThe Kingsgate House Development is a new mixed development to the north of Victoria Street, London, SW1. Two main strands of work were undertaken; namely Civil Engineering and Reinforced Concrete Structures. The civils element consisted of the enabling works to basement box prior to the secant piling, the formation of the perimeter capping beam, temporary works with bulk excavation, the basement slabs including associated drainage and services connections, tower crane base construction and installation of lightning protection and the superstructure to the East and West Buildings. As a Graduate Engineer, I was responsible for assisting various senior engineers in the areas of Quality, Health and Safety, Setting-Out, As-Built Management, Concrete Management, Temporary Works, Reinforcement Management, document control & Welfare
