Aldgate Place
Complex sequencing & design for a constraint site
Our practical and construction orientated approach was put to good use on this constrained inner-city
site, ensuring minimal disruption to the area during this project. We were commissioned to develop the residential blocks spread across four towers between
10 and 25 storeys high which included a mix of studios, one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses, as well as a deep basement and a hotel.
The site was in a constrained location, surrounded by many transport links and existing infrastructure. We supported our client in seeking approvals for sewer diversions and party walls, and worked with TfL and LUL to gain their approvals. Being adjacent to a London Underground station meant we had to sequence the construction and coordinate with these local transport authorities on a daily basis.
We designed complex foundations to bridge services and sequence works and suggested a temporary works solution. We also engineered a fast programme using BIM which allowed seamless coordination with the architects.
Finally, through detailed analysis at design stage, using a bespoke in-house tool, Walsh identified opportunities to reduce embodied carbon by 26%, to 250kg of carbon per square metre.
