Cambell Brown Engineers

One Nine Elms

As part of the larger project to redevelop the Nine Elms area of London, One Nine Elms involved the construction of a Commercial Tower and A Residential Tower with one combined Basement. Cambell Brown Engineers were involved in the Construction engineering of the Basement. The Basement was located in in varying ground conditions. A key challenge presented by the project involved the presence of a Victorian sewer pipe, which ran across the length of the site. These constraints required an innovative selection of construction techniques to be employed.

Client:Careys Civil Engineering

Upon consultation with Thames Water, the client had taken the decision to keep the sewer pipe in place, and therefore required a specialist to develop a construction methodology that would enable construction of the basement whilst protecting this asset. Cambell Brown Engineers developed several construction methods for the Contracting team to selecte their prreffered solution, and Cambell Brown Engineers lead the discussions and approvals from Thames Water. Cambell Brown Engineers also undertook the concept planning of hte tower crane strategy to meet the frame, basement and main contractors requirements. This required the detailed design of five tower crane grillages all supported on plunge columns or diapharagm walls.
