10 Trinity square, London
- Duration: 15 Months
- Client: EC Harris / Bullet Investments
- Project Type: Heritage Demolition & Enabling Works
About this Project
Located in central London, 10 Trinity Square involved the careful demolition and internal strip-out of both a 1970s office block and adjoining Grade II listed structures.
The project demanded meticulous planning and execution within a highly constrained, live environment surrounded by key commercial and heritage buildings.
All works were carried out with strict compliance to heritage requirements, including temporary works to protect retained elements.
This complex enabling phase laid the groundwork for a major redevelopment while preserving the architectural significance of the site.
Challenges Faced:
Complex nature of the structural elements
Risk of premature collapse during demolition
Only one usable access point, necessitating careful choreography of machinery and material movements to ensure pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the front and sides of the site were not disrupted
Highly restrictive site access and egress
The need to preserve the listed building façade while removing and rebuilding the entire internal structure, achieved through a bespoke temporary propping system designed and installed by NCS.
Scope of Works

- Careful demolition of selected elements within the building
- All arisings removed off-site for disposal and recycling at licensed facilities
