Pile casing tubes JLP01_09_900367a
Vintners Place, Upper Thames Street, Queenhithe, City of London. A view of the Vintners Place construction site from the inside of a steel pile casing tube.
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 unique perspective of the Vintners Place construction site in the City of London. Taken from inside a steel pile casing tube, the image offers an intriguing glimpse into the intricate process of building this high-quality office development. Laing, entrusted with a £79 million management contract, undertook this ambitious project between March 1989 and December 1992. The initial phase involved demolishing ten buildings along the riverside, including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf. However, to preserve historical significance, the listed facade of Thames House on Queen Street Place was integrated into the new development. What sets this project apart is its groundbreaking approach to land reclamation from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade – a first within modern times in the City of London. To ensure stability and strength, 319 secant piles were bored for the perimeter foundation wall while 90 large diameter under-reamed piles formed the main foundations. Additionally, 84 contiguous piles were strategically placed within a coffer dam. The circular composition of this photograph adds visual interest as it frames a porthole-like window onto this remarkable construction endeavor from decades past. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to architectural progress in one of London's most iconic areas.
