One Thames City

Located just south of the River Thames, the 10-acre former New Covent Garden Flower Market site was transformed into a mixed-use development with 12 residential buildings and a linear park running from Vauxhall Bridge to the Battersea Power Station. The luxury residential towers sit atop a deep, single-level basement containing servicing and parking. Other facilities include restaurants, bars, retail outlets, and commercial space. Langan supported the ambitious design and construction program from the outset, assisting in the geotechnical and environmental site investigation and a preliminary pile testing program. Working closely with the project architect, SOM, we completed complex finite element analyses. These optimized pile group arrangements and facilitated rapid construction methods whilst confirming that associated settlements were within acceptable tolerances between adjacent buildings and the site-wide basement.
