Claridges Hotel London

Projects like Claridges need to remain sympathetic to the existing architecture of the building and surrounding areas. From our design team to site operatives the Rascor team remained functional to cause as little disruption as possible.

Secant piles were installed around the perimeter of the site between the existing piles. The new sub basement and lower ground floor were constructed inside the piled walls on all sides lined with a water-excluding RASCOtank external type B system and propped at the ground floor and basement levels by the reinforced concrete construction.
The Primary solution for waterproofing this structure was the RASCOtank system which are cast and set during concreting to control crack shrinkage and subsequent injected with acrylic grout which will guarantee prevention of any water ingress from entering the structure.

For more than a century, Claridge’s has preserved it’s unique heritage adding modern flourishes throughout it’s lifetime. In an incredible feet of engineering, we are proud to support McGee as they undertook this project to create new space for Claridges renowned guests.
As the city grows, it creates pressures to expand and renovate historical structures. The project at Claridge’s shows, completing work in a living, breathing city can cause fascinating challenges and inventive solutions.
