This project will see the transformation of an unfinished sports facility into a state-of-the-art education and sports scheme.

The job is being delivered by McLaren on  behalf of the Department for Education and the Boxing Academy Trust, with a strong focus  on community impact and youth development.

Mobilisation is already underway with piling works due to begin this month.

RBL will install  Continuous Displacement Auger  (CDA) piles to depths of approximately 13–14 metres. The piling solution was selected for its cost-effectiveness and suitability to the site’s ground conditions, which include made ground, Hackney Gravel, and London Clay from 4.5m below ground level.

The CDA method, developed by RBL’s in-house Research & Development team, is a cast insitu displacement piling solution  designed as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles.

CDA piles are straight-shafted bored displacement piles that deliver  enhanced load-bearing capacity while generating minimal spoil, reducing environmental  impact and the need for off-site waste removal. Their ability to perform in a variety of soil types, including stiff clays and loose granular soils, makes them ideal for urban projects with  moderate load requirements.

“We’re proud to be supporting McLaren on this landmark education and sports facility in  Hackney,” said Ben Gough, Regional Operations Manager at RBL. “This project reflects our  growing presence in the non-residential sector, where we continue to demonstrate our  capability in delivering efficient, tailored piling solutions for high-impact community  developments.”
