The latest deal follows on from the successful completion of the £10m demolition and enabling works package by Keltbray.

Structures work will include the installation of over 500 king post piles, secant piles, contiguous piles and bearing piles, construction of a new basement slab, core base and box, as well as four new cores, the formation of a reinforced concrete superstructure for the court building and a ‘listed building’ soft strip using ‘cut and carve’ techniques to retain key elements of the heritage structure.

The £300m Salisbury Square Development will deliver a new, purpose-built 18-courtroom legal facility called the City of London Law Courts and a new City of London police headquarters.

Chief Executive Officer, Darren James said: “The contract is a significant step forward for Keltbray in extending our service offering further along the value chain, where clients are recognising the value in our integrated approach to self-delivery.”

Chief Operating Officer, Vince Corrigan, added: “The award of the Salisbury Square contract is another important milestone in our ‘onekeltbray’ strategy and provides us with a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our ability to deliver projects of this scale and complexity using our inhouse engineering expertise.”

Michael O’Hagan, Managing Director of Keltbray’s Built Environment division, said: “With the redevelopment set to take a further three years, we recognise the desire for a highly sustainable build with carbon reduction and the circular economy are key drivers.  Therefore, where possible, we have developed a methodology to complete the works in the most sustainable manner.”
