During February we plan to pour all four quadrants of the Level 6 concrete slab and associated concrete structure works. We will also start the falsework to Level 7.

2025 has been a great year at Lansdowne House. Progress of pre-cast concrete core up to L5 and post tension slabs up to and including L4. Basement fit out works are continuing with MEP installations, brick / blockwork and floor screeds.

The central precast concrete core is up to Level 4 and concrete frame is up to Level 3 of the new building. Fit-out works have begun in the basement.

The new building structure is now visible above the hoardings. The central precast concrete core is up to Level 1 and works to the post tensioned slabs have started. The cantilever structural columns are being installed.

We have started construction on the in-situ columns in the basements. The majority of the Ground Floor and Level 1 columns are cast off-site at our plant in Cornwall. The first pre-cast column was installed in Basement 1 on the 19th June.

The substructure works continue at Lansdowne House with concrete slab pours in the basement levels. The first pre-cast panel of the central core was lifted into place in March and the next tower crane is being installed on the weekend of 12th and 13th April.

Works in early 2025 focus on the continued construction of the new basement slab and start of works to the central core. The second crane will be installed in February.

We completed the breakout of the existing foundation slab that supported the previous building. In addition, we have completed excavation of the extended 2-level basement space. Once the excavation works were completed, a thin layer of concrete was poured across the bottom of the new basement to provide a smooth work surface for the site activities that are to follow.

We are progressing well with the removal of the raft foundation slab that formed the lower-level structures of the previous building and is the final element of demolition. The slab was a minimum of 1.2m thick but there were much deeper areas encountered not previously shown on the historical drawings. Following the slab removal, we are excavating the enlarged two-level basement space.

On site works are progressing well with the boring of piles and capping beam formation the current focus. The piles which are up to 20 metres in depth form below ground columns which will transfer the load of the finished building.
