It's been a pleasure to partner with YardNine on so many projects. With excavation set to begin next month on 50 Fenchurch Street, we’re looking forward to seeing the project take shape. 🙌 #HeritagePreservation #Partnership #CivilEngineering

The 76-78 Upper Ground project involved transforming a Grade II listed structure adjacent to the National Theatre on London's Southbank into a modern workspace. Eighty percent of the existing structure was retained. The building was sensitively refurbished and extended to deliver an additional 11,000m² of floor space. Our team provided multidisciplinary services to enable this award-winning remodelling project: soft strip, partial demolition, design and installation of temporary works, dismantling of the existing façade, structural strengthening of the retained structure, piling, substructure, and superstructure works. The project had a strong focus on sustainability from the beginning. Among the Circular Economy achievements are: 🏢 Retaining 62 listed façade panels and 20 listed core façade panels. ⚒️ Salvaging an 27,360 floor tiles, 95 tonnes of paving blocks, and 71 tonnes of bricks for reuse. ♻️ Recycling 20 tonnes of glazing and reusing significant amounts of timber on-site. We also managed to handle logistical challenges, minimising disruption to theatre performances and maintaining positive relationships with neighbours. We are proud to have contributed to the revitalisation of this iconic building! Read the full story here: https://loom.ly/mvzM3Mw #UpperGround #Remodelling #CircularEconomy

Keltbray has recently supported the Queen’s Regimental Riders Association and Horticultural Rehabilitation Centre in Faversham. 🤩 The centre’s Veteran Rehabilitation Project does a great job, using gardening 🌱 to enhance veterans' mental wellbeing, while also providing support for homeless veterans. We repaired and improved the existing track and constructed a road around the Rehabilitation Centre, donating all necessary materials and leveraging the team from our nearby Richborough Power Station project to complete the job. Howard Copsey, President of QRRA, expressed his gratitude: "We are immensely grateful to Keltbray for their support from the outset of this project, ensuring a professional-looking entrance to the Centre and improving the safety of our veterans." A special thanks to L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage Plant Hire for providing the roller. It was a genuine pleasure to support QRRA and meet the brilliant individuals behind it. 🙌 #SocialValue #Volunteering #RichboroughPowerStation #CommunitySupport

Celebrating our inspiring women! 🙌 This International Women's Day, we're proud to share Jess Ramsay CEng MICE 's story. She's recently become a Chartered Engineer with us! Jess is passionate about solving complex problems that help society to evolve, and became an engineer so she could apply her love of maths to her day-to-day work. Among her big work achievements is her role on the Silvertown Tunnel – the first major project she worked on as an Estimator at Keltbray. Her journey to becoming a Chartered Engineer hasn't been easy, with many changes of direction – including balancing it with motherhood – but she persevered, and we are really proud of her achievement. Congratulations, Jess! And thanks to all the women who help our industry keep moving! 🌟 💪 Read the full story on our website: https://loom.ly/gNVoc1o #InspiringWomen #InternationalWomensDay #CharteredEngineer #ICE
