An overview of several commercial and residential projects we have completed using either shaft & timber heading (tunnelling) and/or open cut trench excavation. See also Testimonials from our clients.
Erith Contractors Paddington Square Development,
Pread Street, London
New, large, commercial regeneration project, August 2021
Construction of an 1800ID manhole upon an existing Victorian egg-shaped brick sewer:
A 5m metre deep shaft was excavated onto the existing sewer, before a small section was then cut out. We formed a drum shutter inside the sewer involving intricate timber installation works and extended a section of the sewer formed with concrete (to strengthen the existing culvert). A new manhole was then constructed to suit at site level.
Ballymore The Brentford Project, Brentford Waterside, London
New, large, commercial and residential regeneration project, October 2020
Sewer Diversion via deep trench open cut and timber headings:
Approximately 100m of timber heading was driven underneath Brentford High Street, and 150m deep drainage open cut/trench works carried out on site. Diversion work caried out with minimal overpumping of existing live combined Thames Water main sewer. Major traffic management arranged and installed, which also included suspensions of parking bays and bus stops. We liaised with both the local authority and Thames Water to obtain all necessary licenses from start to finish for this brand new riverside town in Brentford.
Ardmore Construction Old War Office, Whitehall, Westminster, London
Regeneration of historic and prestigious site for commercial and residential use,
April 2020
Two new sewer connections for ductile/ensign pipe installations, from within old London basement:
The existing basement wall was carefully core-drilled for each of the two timber headings, 10m in distance each. A 150mm connection was made into the existing manhole in the road (involving night works due to the busy London location) and the 400mm pipe directly into the existing Victorian culvert sewer. Works were carried out from a raised working platform, and the headings were backfilled to the openings.

Major new residential development, November 2018

Upgrade of drainage infrastructure, September 2018
New foul sewer connection via open cut trench, shaft & timber heading (tunnelling) excavation:
