John F Hunt has been engaged to deliver basement excavation and construction on a mixed-use development project in the City of London in the UK, by main contractor, Mace.

The ambitious development requires full demolition of One Liverpool Street and development of a 10-storey building for office use with two levels of partial basement.

John F Hunt selected Conquip for the supply of the temporary propping after it modeled the work within a BIM process and provided guidance with sequencing and methodology.

Temporary Works Propping at One Liverpool Street is expected to start in Q4 2023.

The deal extends the relationship between Conquip and John F Hunt, with Conquip supporting JF Hunt for more than a decade with a wide range of products and services.

George Critchley, Group Director at Conquip Engineering Group said: “We’re delighted to partner with John F Hunt on another prestigious London development, following a successful project at St Pancras Campus in 2022.

“Over the last few months of this tender processes, we’ve supported the scoping and engineering needs with a dedicated team, committed to working with John F Hunt. Their trust and confidence in our capabilities is a valued endorsement to our whole team.”

Jamie Fitzpatrick, Senior Project Manager at John F Hunt said: “They have demonstrated a clear understanding of the strict Ground Movement Assessment and the permanent/temporary works designers’ requirements.

“Conquip were also fully cognizant of the key stakeholders, including London Underground assets in immediate proximity to the project, allowing them to develop a clearly understood design proposal.”
