Overview
The creation of a new Island neighbourhood on one of the best-connected sites in London was once just an ambitious vision. Now, it is a stunning reality. Bridging the business might of neighbouring Canary Wharf and the cultural energy of east London, London City Island is one of the most important waterside projects London has seen in recent years. Taking inspiration from the best elements from metropolitan islands across the world, the project combines bold architecture and pioneering landscape design to create a spectacular landmark in riverside living.
Working from a ScaffFloat, a floating pontoon fabricated using scaffolding and fitted with outboard motors and a hi-ab crane for lifting, installation of the following:
- 7 No. emergency ladders
- 140m of horizontal timber baulking
- 200m of vertical timber baulking
- 510m of safety grab chains
Design
- Full design of ladders, timber baulking and grab chain fixing details
Construction
- Complete construction of the full scope of works
Project Management
- Obtain the necessary river works licences from the river regulators: Port of London Authority, Environmental Authority and the Marine Management Organisation.
- Management of delivery, from desisgn stage through to construction and commissioning.
Engineering
- Stability analysis for the ScaffFloat pontoon used for carrying out the works
- Planned, supervised, and carried out all lifting operations.
- Site engineering including quality assurance, setting out and surveying, drawings, coordinating works and planning of operations
Marine Logistics
- Planned, supervised and carried out mobilisation of all marine plant to site.
Delivery of material barges, planned around the tides to ensure site was always stocked with material for the works.
Other Projects
Nearshore / Inland Warerways
Working on the challenging tidal River Lea
Health and Safety
No lost time incidents with 2,500 hours worked across the project
Innovation
Due to the location of the works and tidal limitations on working times, a ScaffFloat, a floating pontoon fabricated using scaffolding and fitted with outboard motors and a hi-ab crane for lifting, was used to carry out the works. This was the first time a ScaffFloat had been fitted with a hi-ab crane, with a special mounting bracket being designed specifically for these works. The ScaffFloat was allowed to bottom out on the sloped foreshore during low tide, enabling works to continue during all states of the tide.
