McGee

4-5 Princess Gate, Kensington – Project Win

McGee has secured a new project in Kensington.

Hill Spink’s 4-5 Princess Gate is located opposite Hyde Park and runs parallel to Kensington Road. McGee is contracted to; remove all asbestos and any other contaminated materials, demolish the existing 9-storey building including the ground-floor slab, construct a retaining wall and columns and install party wall shoring and temporary propping.

The planned duration of this contract is 24 weeks and site set up was established on 30th June. A timber perimeter hoarding at the front of the site will serve as a demarcation between site activities and the public. McGee’s in-house asbestos department will survey, remove and dispose of all asbestos prior to the soft strip.

After careful consideration the decision was made to demolish the building using a tower crane, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Measures are also being taken to eliminate dust, noise and vibration from mass material movement and all possible recycling will be carried out at our own dedicated depots.
