The Pinnacle

The Pinnacle · construction photograph

An ambitious City of London tower (also known as the Bishopsgate Tower or 'the Helter-Skelter') by Kohn Pedersen Fox that stalled after the 2008 crash with only its concrete core stump built. The site was later redeveloped as the 278m tower 22 Bishopsgate, completed in 2020.

Wentworth supported the Pinnacle’s basement works through successive changes to the development. Our construction engineering helped the project team adapt excavation and foundation strategies around a partially completed structure, providing continuity as proposals and site conditions changed.
