Development manager Platform has selected McGee for demolition, piling and RC works at The Acre, a new office building in the heart of Covent Garden, UK.
Previously, the specialist engineering contractor was chosen for soft strip, pile testing and enabling works during the design process of the new office.
The latest contract is a result of active collaboration and early engagement with the client team.
The company will utilise its in-house capabilities, construction engineering team along with its plant, and haulage fleet for this project.
McGee Group managing director Seb Fossey said: “I’m exceptionally proud of the McGee team working on this exciting central London scheme, who have drawn upon our experience of delivering complex engineering projects in the heart of the city to deliver a high-value solution to the client. I look forward to delivering these works with Platform and the rest of the client team.”
