Wentworth’s Stuart Vaughan discussing heritage and innovation at Salisbury Square
01.10.24
Wentworth’s Director, Stuart Vaughan will speak at the upcoming Ground Engineering Basements and Structures conference on the engineering complexities faced at one of London’s biggest basement excavations.
Salisbury Square is the site of the City of London’s new "Justice Quarter" on the south side of Fleet Street. At 127m long, up to 73m wide and 18.5m deep, the construction of the deepened basement at Salisbury Square was always going to be a significant challenge for the contractor, Keltbray, and the temporary works designer, Wentworth, working in collaboration with the main contractor Mace.
“We could plan the engineering requirements, identify what was going to be challenging and put forward proposals that could then be worked through cost and programme to allow Keltbray to come up with an engineering methodology,”says Wentworth’s managing director Stuart Vaughan.
