Volker Fitzpatrick and Volker Ground Engineering have completed piling works ahead of schedule for JP Morgan’s £13.5M office development at a Maidenhead business park.
Geotechnical engineering and piling specialist Volker Ground Engineering installed 327 continuous flight auger (CFA) piles for the 5,300m2 development at Foundation Park.
Working in partnership with engineering and construction firm Volker Fitzpatrick, the CFA piling was completed ahead of programme.
The two Volker Wessels UK specialist businesses partnered up to deliver the piling programme for client JP Morgan.
Volker Fitzpatrick project manager Scott Reynolds said: “Both teams had a tight schedule to meet, with many logistical challenges, due to the site being situated within a live business park, neighbouring an aerodrome.
“Thorough and consistent communication prior and during the piling programme enabled both parties to make key joint decisions, which lead to the piling being completed ahead of schedule. The successful relationship is also reflected in the quality of workmanship.”
The completed building will consist of a new three-storey office, featuring open plan workspaces, a full height atrium with internal staircase and a roof terrace. The building’s façade will be comprised of curtain walling, infilled with alternating feature panels and glazing units.
Two existing units at the business park were demolished to make way for the new office building.
This is the second project Volker Fitzpatrick has worked on at Foundation Park. The current works are due to be completed towards the end of 2023.
