1 Sherwood Street In April 2019, Erith commenced work at the One Sherwood Street redevelopment, a project to create additional retail space and residential apartments behind London’s iconic Piccadilly Lights. Developer Landsec, who has owned the building since 1968, has commenced with the latest chapter in the development of the iconic landmark, to improve the building that is passed by 1.4 million people every year. The Piccadilly Circus advertising platform has been in-situ since 1908, having evolved from its humble beginnings as lightbulb text, through to Neon signage, digital projectors and finally completed its transformation to full LED Screens in 2011. Erith’s participation with this project involved the following: Erith required the use of both a Liebherr telescopic crawler crane and a Wolff Luffer Crane to carry out the works. The crane was delivered to the site, offloaded and then tracked to its required location. Due to the size of the crane, the lorry entered London under a plant movement order and was subject to a section 61 notice due to early morning movements being unavoidable. The tower crane was erected on-site and on the Denham Street ground floor slab, which was back-propped to take the weight of the crane and associated outrigger loads. Due to the extensive and complex nature of the works, several temporary works items were required to facilitate the scope, including: Due to the mixed nature of construction within the Sherwood Street development, Erith was required to safeguard the following businesses: In addition to this, the iconic Piccadilly Lights advertising board were to remain in operation throughout the works. As the development was focussed around the Piccadilly Lights and contained the above-mentioned businesses, a robust M&E Plan was in place for the Sherwood Street project. Intensive desktop studies and evolutionary works plans were carried out to ensure that any required service diversions, isolations and relocations were carried out with minimum disruption to any stakeholders, and ensuring the iconic billboard remained live and lit at all times. • Establishment of site welfare facilities • Scaffolding and hoarding • Structural site investigations • Tower crane erection • Asbestos removal • Soft strip • Temporary works incl. façade retention, party wall support, underpinning Top-down demolition to the basement level • Basement construction back to the ground floor • Service protection, disconnections and diversions • Façade retention to Piccadilly Lights and 20 Denman Street • Party wall support • Underpinning • Top-down construction for design development of basement • Review of construction of existing structures • Value engineering proposals including removal of 19 & 20 Denman Street buildings and potentially increasing basement depth to 19 Denman Street. • Jamie’s Italian Restaurant • Jewel Bar (Façade retention) • GAP • Boots • Barclays Location: Piccadilly, London W1F
