Riverside South, Canary Wharf

Client: Oakes Specialist Excavations
The site, a former dockyard, is being redeveloped as a twin tower skyscraper with a 14m deep basement excavation.
We advised the contractor on the selective excavation and off-site disposal of the spoil. This included a comprehensive zoning investigation and preparation of a detailed zoning plan as part of the Materials Management Plan. We also advised on a remediation strategy to reduce the waste classification of the material, which led to major cost savings for the client.
We had on site presence throughout the excavation and remediation operations to inspect and sample the arisings and treated material.
