Multiplex and Cementation Skanska have started piling works on the Keystone Building at the University of Glasgow, marking the first step in constructing the new educational and research facility.

At the 2024 GE Basements & Underground Structures conference, Cementation Skanska project manager Chris Roberts will discuss how a real-world trial on a dual-fuel piling rig shows the potential of hydrogen for fuelling plant and equipment.

Cementation Skanska worked with Mabey Hire to support a three level basement excavation as part of the 2 Finsbury Avenue development in London.

Steel forgings company Sheffield Forgemasters and main contractor Vinci Building have moved to the next phase of constructing the UK’s largest open-die forging facility, with piling contractor Cementation Skanska getting to work on the building’s foundations.

Piling contractor Cementation Skanska has installed a plant safety system with “intelligent” cameras that recognise the human form on its fleet of large diameter piling rigs and cranes.

Piling contractor Cementation Skanska has trialled the plug-in Bauer eBG 33 rotary drilling rig – that comes with a powerful electric drive instead of a diesel engine - on High Speed 2’s (HS2’s) Birmingham and London sites.

The High Speed 2 (HS2) project has completed a world first with the installation of four 30m deep piles on a London site using a hydrogen dual-fuel piling rig.

High Speed 2’s Euston station construction partner Mace Dragados JV, working with Cementation Skanska, has completed pile load testing ahead of early piling work that will start this spring.

A new guidewall on the London tunnels section of High Speed 2 (HS2) has been built using basalt reinforcement and low carbon concretes, replacing conventional steel and concrete.

At the GE Piling and Foundations 2022 conference, the team behind the zero trim piling method discusses its benefits, from improved safety to carbon savings, and potential for further development.
