120 Fleet Street Employed by Chinese Estates, Erith were contracted to undertake the hard demolition, hydro demolition, saw cutting and basement & enabling works to the development known as 120 Fleet Street, EC4A 2BE. The site consists of a large steel frame building (c.3900sqm at Level 3) which was constructed in the late nineties. The building rises to 9 levels above ground with a deep basement area - part twin storey. The southwest of the site features the Grade II listed Daily Express building, which comprises of 5 residential use buildings; four seven storey buildings in a cruciform shape and one 5 storey building with an irregular rectangular shape. The site is located in the City of London, and is bound by Fleet Street, Shoe Lane, St Bride Street and Poppins Court. The works are constrained by the following: • Weatherproofing & protection of Grade II listed Building • Occupied live Boots store during the demolition programme and protection/coordination of works around this area. • Maintaining vehicle access on/off-site from St Bride Street & Shoe Lane. • Existing Temporary/UKPN Substations on St Bride Street • Interface with modern and historic ground retention structures Having worked on a number of projects in the immediate area including 42 Shoe Lane (otherwise known as London Development Project) 20 Farringdon Street and 1 Stonecutter Court (directly next door), we utilise our existing successful relationships with the surrounding business stakeholders, City of London and service providers throughout the duration of works at 120 Fleet Street. This has been implemented by producing a robust project-specific neighbourhood liaison plan, this outlines how we will engage & liaise with local business group representatives; neighbours in the surrounding area and key stakeholders. This is implemented by our dedicated Neighbourhood Liaison Officer for the works Renowned as one of London’s most iconic Modernist buildings, the Daily Express Building was designed in 1932 to house the national headquarters of both newspapers, The Daily Express and The Sunday Express. The Grade II listed Building is to be separated from the 120 Fleet Street building which remains as an independent building in the proposed development. The structure, including architectural features, are to be protected during the works with a weatherproofing solution installed to the exposed face. A key sustainable element of the project was the reuse of steel from the existing structure. The steel is to be dismantled, tested and fabricated on site to facilitate the requirements for temporary works. This amounts to a saving of 180t of imported steelwork to the project and in addition, contributes to the carbon omitted from the fabrication of imported steel. In addition to this. all our modern fleet of plant and haulage is powered by HVO fuels, which significantly reduces emissions by circa 75%. Location: Fleet Street, London EC4
