• Installation of new foundations
• Installation of No.2 tower crane
• Construction of new reinforced concrete sub structure to ground level
• Formation of new concrete structural core.

With the cores erected, the key focus will be on progressing the main steel frame, positioning main plant and defining plant spaces within basements 1 and 2. Steel members will be delivered via articulated vehicles into the London Wall pit lane which will be able to accommodate three articulated vehicles concurrently and can be served by all three tower cranes. We anticipate up to five steel deliveries per day which will be offloaded to loading platforms before continuing with erection in the relevant frame phase.

Once level 3 has been concreted, we will be able to initiate the installation of external construction hoists to facilitate distribution requirements of the main façade, mechanical and electrical and fit-out deliveries. We will provide two sets of twin hoists to the south west and south east corner of the site to allow offloading of vehicles and pedestrian segregation to be maintained.

Once the superstructure has progressed to Level 6, the main unitised façade can commence. Façade elements will be delivered to site on stillages via articulated vehicles entering the on-site pit lane from London Wall.

Telehandlers will offload stillages and transit through the western ground floor slab to enable loading into the twin material hoists. Smaller ancillary items will also be delivered via rigid vehicles to the Basinghall Street pit lane which also has a transit route to the material hoists.

MEP and WC fit-out elements will be delivered via the off-loading areas on London Wall and Basinghall street and distributed to the relevant levels via the material hoists which have been sized to accommodate modular and pod deliveries.

The completion of the cladding installation and subsequent structural in-fills is a key milestone as the building officially becomes watertight allowing the completion of high level services and finishes on the office floor plates and reception areas. 

Once the main facades are complete and fit-out are nearing completion, the external hoists will be dismantled and material deliveries will then be made via Basinghall Street. The focus will then turn to the phased commencement of external works starting with the western elevation of the building including the remodelling of Brewers Hall Gardens.

Hard and soft landscaping initially commences on the northern elevation and on to the eastern elevation of public realm between 2 Aldermanbury Square and 40 Basinghall Street. As the building commissioning completes, the final phase of external works to the southern elevation of the building will be released for hard and soft landscaping.
