Bankside Yards West, London

Work progressing nicely at Bankside Yards West – a large commercial project we are working on. This incredible new tower is located along the South Bank of the Thames. The project reinvigorates a large and under-utilised site between Blackfriars Bridge and the Tate Modern museum, replacing two divisive blocks on either side of the mainline railway running north-south through London. The residential-led development combines housing along with offices, cultural and retail space as well as leisure amenities. MacLennan are waterproofing two basement levels of the Bankside Yard West tower. The design of a commercial basement, like with all basements, is critical and can be more challenging because of the mixed-use and often over several levels. Involving a specialist waterproofing company at the design stage for such (and any new builds) is critical.
