The job is Bachy’s first tower win in the capital for two years and will see the firm complete foundations between now and the end of September.

Main contractor on the £150m scheme is Sir Robert McAlpine.

Paul Hodgson, Business Development Manager at Bachy Soletanche, said:  “This is our first order for residential towers in London for 2 years – the majority of our larger projects during the first half of 2010 have been in the North so it will be nice to get back into the city.

“The variety of CFA rigs we have available made us the ideal candidate for the job and I look forward to seeing the project progress over the next few months.”
