20- 21Laing O'Rourke Annual Review 2009Business02 Tooley Street, London, UK This innovative design, intended to provide lean and flexible office space on a confined site in central London, created considerable engineering challenges during the construction phase and resulted in the application of bridge- building techniques to deliver a workable solution. The quality of the concrete frame was paramount, as virtually all the surface area is exposed, forming an integral part of the energy-efficient ventilation system. Off- site manufacturing was fundamental to our ability to achieve the required standards, through the application of our automated precasting and assembly approach in a highly quality- controlled factory environment. 03 Cannon Place, London, UK Cannon Place is a major redevelopment of an existing commercial building over an operational mainline and underground train concourse in central London. It incorporates retail and office space as well as much needed improvements to public areas. The key requirement to avoid any transport disruption ( and protect the archaeological artefacts that have been discovered under the building) marks this project out as a highly complex undertaking that benefits from our expertise in engineering and logistics management. 02
