The Clock Tower

View as PDF The former Abbey National HQ, 1930 art deco building was to be demolished, with the condition the Clock Tower would be preserved.

ASME had the honour of being selected to undertake this project. Careful planning between ASME, architects and the demolition and scaffolding contractors was a key contributor to the success of this project.

The location meant working off one of the busiest streets in London, therefore consideration for pedestrians, traffic and nearby residents was paramount.

Working floor by floor and welding on site meant that as ASME installed steel propping on the 9th floor the demolition crew followed on behind taking each floor down as ASME worked on the one beneath them. The pattern was repeated until completion. ASME completed the project within budget and on time.
