Ardmore Construction – 10 Trinity Square, London (£1.7m Project)

Ardmore Construction – 10 Trinity Square, London (£1.7m Project)

Project Overview

The historic 10 Trinity Square building in London, formerly the headquarters of the Port of London Authority, has been transformed into one of the Square Mile’s first super-luxury hotel and residential developments. Located next to the Tower of London, this prestigious Grade II* listed building sits on a three-acre site and has been redeveloped into a world-class destination.

The redevelopment project included the creation of a 120-bedroom luxury hotel, 37 private high-end apartments, an exclusive private members’ club, three restaurants, and a luxury spa facility. The interiors were designed by the renowned designer David Collins, ensuring the development met the highest standards of luxury and architectural preservation.

Scope of Work

CA Drillers were appointed to carry out specialist structural works as part of the redevelopment. Due to the historic nature of the building and the complexity of the structure, precision techniques and advanced equipment were required to complete the project safely and efficiently.

Our team delivered a range of specialist services, including:

• Controlled demolition using Brokk robotic machines

• Diamond drilling for precise structural openings

• Diamond wire sawing for cutting through thick reinforced concrete

• Diamond track sawing for large structural modifications

Key Challenges

Working within a Grade II* listed building presented several technical challenges. The structure required extremely careful handling to ensure the integrity of the historic architecture was maintained while allowing for modern redevelopment works.

Additionally, the central London location required efficient planning, minimal disruption, and high safety standards throughout the project.

Project Execution

The CA Drillers team carried out controlled demolition of the entire basement swimming pool, ensuring the surrounding structure remained intact. Alongside this, our specialists completed thousands of precision-drilled holes across the site to facilitate structural modifications and service installations.

Using Brokk robotic demolition machines allowed the work to be performed safely in confined spaces while maintaining maximum precision and control.

Results

All works were completed efficiently, safely, and to the highest professional standards. The precision techniques used ensured that structural modifications were carried out without compromising the integrity of the historic building.

The successful completion of this stage contributed to the transformation of 10 Trinity Square into one of London’s most prestigious luxury hospitality and residential developments.

Conclusion

This project highlights CA Drillers’ expertise in complex demolition and diamond drilling works within heritage buildings. Our ability to combine advanced equipment, skilled operators, and precise cutting techniques ensured the project was delivered to an exceptional standard.
