By GlobalDataUnder a £100m package, Expanded Group, the specialist engineering business of the construction company Laing O’Rourke, has already commenced work on the site in January this year to deliver the basement and frame that sits behind the retained four-storey, Grade II listed façade on the Queensway elevation.
Laing O’Rourke UK Building director Paul McNerney said: “Our Expanded team has made incredible progress on the basement and frame structure, despite having to adapt to create a Covid-secure workplace.
“Many of the components such as core walls, columns and façade elements will be manufactured at our Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction in Nottinghamshire before being transported for on-site assembly.
“Almost 600 precast items have already been manufactured, out of a total 4,000 required for the development.
“This approach provides greater certainty for our client and we look forward to playing our role in creating a vibrant new destination for the local community and for visitors to London.”
