London Concrete has completed the second-largest continuous pour in its history after providing 5,000m3 of ready-mix concrete to the One Nine Elms development in central London.
The pour – undertaken by Careys Civil Engineering, on behalf of principal contractor, Multiplex, over the course of a weekend – forms the basement raft of the 56-storey City Tower skyscraper.
The material was supplied by London Concrete’s Battersea site, with reserves held at its plant in Bow.
London Concrete – part of Aggregate Industries – was instructed to maintain a continuous supply of ready-mix concrete without any gaps or delays. After three months of planning, including co-ordination with Transport for London to determine the least disruptive routes to site, London Concrete supplied the project with 680 loads of concrete without a single rejection or reworking.
