Vintners Place, Upper Thames Street, Queenhithe, City of London. A worker being lowered by crane into the steel casing of one of the bored pile foundations at Vintners Place to undertake an inspection.
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 remarkable moment during the construction of Vintners Place in the City of London. In this image, a fearless worker is being carefully lowered by crane into the steel casing of one of the bored pile foundations at the site. The worker's harness dangles in mid-air as they prepare to undertake an inspection. Laing, entrusted with a £79 million management contract for this prestigious project, oversaw the construction of a high-quality office development spanning 37,000 square meters. The work commenced in June 1989 with the demolition of several buildings along Upper Thames Street and Queenhithe, including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf. What makes this project truly unique is that it was granted permission to reclaim land from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade – an unprecedented feat within modern times for any development within London's financial district. The listed facade of Thames House on Queen Street Place was also preserved and incorporated into Vintners Place. The foundation work involved drilling 319 secant piles for the perimeter foundation wall, alongside 90 large diameter under-reamed piles for main foundations and 84 contiguous piles within a coffer dam. This photograph not only showcases human ingenuity but also highlights how architectural marvels can be achieved through meticulous planning and engineering expertise. It serves as a testament to both past achievements and ongoing progress in shaping our urban landscapes.
