Vintners Place, Upper Thames Street, Queenhithe, City of London. A worker suspended in a chair above a trench at the Vintners Place construction site in which the reinforcement cages of a secant bored pile wall are visible.
Laing undertook the £ 79m management contract for the construction of a 37, 000sqm high quality office development at Vintners Place between March 1989 and December 1992. Work on site began in June 1989 with the demolition of 10 buildings including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf on the riverside. The listed facade of Thames House along Queen Street Place was preserved and incorporated into the development. The project was the first within the City of London in modern times permitted to reclaim land from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade. 319 secant piles were bored for the perimeter foundation wall with 90 large diameter under-reamed piles for the main foundations and 84 contiguous piles within the coffer dam

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of daring at the Vintners Place construction site in City of London. Suspended high above a trench, a fearless worker dangles from a chair, his feet barely touching the ground. The reinforcement cages of a secant bored pile wall are visible below, showcasing the intricate work being done to create this impressive office development. Laing took on the challenging £79m management contract for this project between 1989 and 1992. The construction began with the demolition of several buildings along Upper Thames Street, including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf. However, they preserved and incorporated the listed facade of Thames House into their design. What makes this project truly remarkable is that it was granted permission to reclaim land from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade - an unprecedented feat within modern times in City of London. A total of 319 secant piles were bored for the perimeter foundation wall, supported by 90 large diameter under-reamed piles for the main foundations and 84 contiguous piles within the coffer dam. This photo serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and bravery in construction work during the 1990s. It reminds us that progress often requires individuals willing to hang suspended in mid-air while shaping our urban landscapes.
