Canning Town Phase 2

Bouygues UK is delivering one of London’s most challenging and significant town centre regeneration projects, in Canning Town. Forming part of the £3.7 billion Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, Hallsville Quarter is a catalyst for the transformation of the wider area, forming a new, thriving and prosperous district centre for this emerging area of East London, in the London Borough of Newham.

Phase 2 provides a gateway into Canning Town’s new district centre, with the beginning of the new pedestrianised high street which runs down the spine of the entire development area. Shops, cafés, restaurants and a 196-bedroom Ibis hotel animate and bring life to the space, while landmark residential towers provide 349 privately rented, private for sale, and affordable shared ownership homes. The proposed scheme includes a basement for parking beneath the majority of the Phase 2 site.

The geotechnical investigation indicates the site area to be underlain by Alluvium. Given the nature, the thickness and the presence of soft alluvial clays was recommended by the main scheme designer piled foundations were adopted to support the proposed building structures. The undrained shear strength of the foundation soil considered was 13kPa.
