Piling starts in English Street (Site 12)

October 20th 2010 - Pile driver on Site 12

On Wednesday this week, the gear arrived for piling works on Site 12 in English Street - right next to Beckley House. 

We wonder how many residents knew what was going to be happening right outside their windows?

What is Piling ?

Piling is the term used to describe the process of driving piles into the ground to create deep foundations.

No construction work will be possible on Site 12 until such time as the site contamination and remediation plan has been scrutinised by Planning and signed off.  The deadline for this application is 1st November 2010.
