Central Park Construction Updates

Following a productive period for the site team, the completion of all four phases of steelwork marked a significant project milestone. Intumescent painting, SFS installation, and weatherboarding advanced to the halfway point, alongside external wall insulation, brickwork and window installation.

Internally, metal deck flooring and concrete pours have advanced significantly, while pre-fit-out mechanical, electrical, and plumbing works began in preparation for the interior works package.

In Q2, the completion of the basement level slab was a key milestone at Central Park, alongside the commencement of the building’s steel frame. The site team is now focusing on the progression of the steel frame erection following a fantastic start. The installation of metal decking, floor slab concrete pouring, and pre-cast stair installation also progressed steadily.

This period brought the commencement of ground floor concrete slab works and continuation of final pile cap installation in a busy start to the year for the site team. The basement dig-out and retaining walls are among the works to be completed in the next quarter.

Over the course of October and November, the piling mat was completed and on-site piling commenced. This is a significant milestone in terms of the progression of all other works at Central Park.

In Quarter Three, further progress was made by the team at Central Park as site clearance continued in preparation for on-site piling. This included breaking ground along with the preparation and construction of the piling mat.

In September, the jaw crusher was delivered to enable the installation of the piling mat, before the piling mat was then constructed in preparation for the piling rig.

Several important progressions were made during this period in terms of procurement and design, which enabled site mobilisation to commence. Stage 4 design was completed in June, as well as a comprehensive CCTV survey.

A dilapidation survey for the site’s neighbouring Network Rail tunnel was also completed in Quarter Two, while drainage diversion works continued to progress significantly.
