Cobb Street E1 7LB finishes ahead of schedule





This is a city centre residential site and like any other typical London City site particular attention needs to paid to Traffic Management, Waste Management, Protection of the Public and lastly managing the amount of space available on site.
Midwest Formwork decided to jump the core on this 3 story RC frame and followed on with columns and slabs once the main core was completed, thus maximising the amount of storage space on site.
The flow of traffic, local business and the local residents were considered, especially when dealing with site deliveries.
