Deep foundation CFA piles for a new residential tower situated in a location with environmental complexities. Cannon Piling was contracted by McAleer & Rushe to install deep foundation CFA piles fora new residential tower situated between theO2 Arena and Thames Barrier at Woolwich. The location, a former coal and gas-fired power station, presented logistical and environmental complexities, requiring meticulous planning and collaboration. Cannon was responsible for installing

Piled foundation scheme for a 700-bed, 21-storey student accommodation development. McAleer & Rushe engaged Cannon Piling to under take the piled foundation scheme for a 700-bed, 21-storey student accommodation development at Crutched Friars, Fenchurch Street, in the financial district of London. The project was carried out in two phases, the duration for the first phase was seven weeks, followed by an eight-week second phase. The project required the installation of 500mm di

The ongoing development at Parkhouse Street in Camberwell is a landmark project in delivering energy-efficient afforable housing and commercial space to the Southwark community. Cannon were contracted to design and install 298 CFA and screw piles in order to form the foundations for the project. Constructing piles within the Thanet Sands, Cannon had to combine their technical in-house design experience with operational logistics in order to deliver their usual standard of ope

The intersection of Ebury Bridge Road and St Barnabas Street in Abbots Manor, London was formerly a garage and pumping station. With plans to develop the location into a high-quality dementia care facility, Cannon’s expertise were needed in order to form a two-storey basement for the new care home. Working within Central London construction specifications, right next to Grade 2 Listed buildings and above a Crossrail tunnel exclusion zone, the project has been a satisfying cha

In August 2022, Cannon Piling began work for CField Construction on the Quayside Lodge scheme in London. The full package comprised 251 CFA load‑bearing piles and 308 secant wall piles, amounting to 12 weeks of on‑site works. The project also featured the largest cages Cannon Piling has installed to date — 9 no. H40x14.5 cages within a 600mm OD spiral. The scheme presented a number of engineering challenges, the most significant being the need to design and construct around a

Cannon Piling installed 400mm CFA piles to form a retaining contiguous pile wall for a basement structure, which included a dropped level to accommodate a swimming pool. The basement excavation reached depths of up to 4.5m, with a three‑storey house constructed above on completion. As shown in the project images, the walls were temporarily propped during excavation, allowing the design to utilise smaller‑diameter piles and maximise usable internal space for the client. This p
