Construction firm Kier has completed work on Millstream Tower in Tottenham Hale.
The company has handed over the development to Newlon Housing Trust. The residential development is one of the first buildings to be delivered as part of the Tottenham Hale masterplan which aims to create a bustling centre with a well-connected transport hub, affordable homes and thousands of job opportunities for local people.
Built on the site of a former garage this project entailed demolition of an existing structure followed by the design and construction of a new 22-storey residential development. The new building offers 128 dwellings comprising 117 shared ownership flats,11 private sale flats in additional to one commercial unit.
The Kier team developed an alternative substructure scheme to cantilever the 72.75 meters tall building over two Victoria Line service tunnels and a Thames Water trunk sewer whilst keeping the structure within its tight footprint. Piled foundations were installed as close as possible to the tunnel exclusion zones and a cantilevered 1.5m raft foundation was cast over the tunnels to support the lower floors of the structure until the in situ concrete corridor walls had sufficient strength to transfer the loads back to the piles. This solution avoided substructure works outside the boundary and significant service diversions.
David McKenzie, Managing Director at Kier Construction London, South & Strategic Projects, said: "The handover of Millstream Tower marks another successful project in our long standing relationship with Newlon Housing Trust and forms an exciting new landmark in Tottenham Hale’s expanding community.
"I am especially proud of the design features on this building, the cantilever design over LUL lines and achieving a gold Secured by Design accreditation, as it demonstrates our teams’ expert capabilities in finding innovative building solutions to complex challenges on site through collaboration and the use of modern methods of construction."
