GMP were engaged to pile an interesting scheme in South East London. With the Network Rail assets in close proximity, good communication was required to ensure all guidelines and associated health and safety requirements were adhered to. The GMP design had to cater for some significant tension loads within the crane base. Anchorage design was also required.
