Longwood Close

The project’s success stemmed from MPB’s proactive planning, creative use of existing resources, and disciplined coordination across multiple work fronts.

• The project presented a range of complex site constraints that required precise planning and coordinated delivery.
• To manage the interface with Network Rail, we implemented a dual tower crane strategy that maintained programme efficiency while eliminating any risk of over sailing or compound collapse, reducing the need for direct Network Rail involvement and protecting the schedule.
• We designed and delivered a 100 metre permanent retaining wall to enable safe excavation and ground level reduction and installed a bespoke precast retaining system to manage the level difference between the piling mat and the highway.
• During basement construction, our robust excavation methodology safeguarded the adjacent road, ensured public safety and maintained uninterrupted progress.

Through early planning, innovative methods, and a disciplined team structure, MPB successfully delivered Longwood Close with strong programme adherence, improved efficiency, and consistently high standards across all work stages.
