Earls Court Masterplan
Earls Court Masterplan is one of the largest urban redevelopments in London and G&T is proud to work alongside Keltbray and ALE to deliver this project.
G&T is providing Project Management, Cost Management and Employer’s Agent services on this multi-million pound London redevelopment.
A joint venture between Capco and Transport for London, the Earls Court redevelopment began in 2013 and aims to provide 10,000 new jobs for the local community and 7,500 new homes.
"The G&T team is immensely proud to be working with Capco on one of the most prestigious masterplans in London. The challenges have been vast on this complex infrastructure project and the team has been first class in their delivery."Ian Robinson, G&T Partner
Following the demolition of the existing buildings Earls Court 1 and 2 the current works involve de-risking the site for future development.
The largest crane in London arrived on site in November 2016 and stands at 120m tall. It can lift up to 3200T and took 10 weeks to build. The ALE designed crane is part of the land enabling works due for completion at the end of 2017.
It will remove 61 beams from site, working overnight following a bespoke access plan agreement with London Underground.
