Aarsleff Ground Engineering has implemented diverse slope stabilisation solutions across three UK sites, addressing unique challenges with tailored techniques. In Alnwick, 57.6m of driven steel sheet piles were installed using a silent press to stabilise a slope near historic buildings, while in Tynemouth, a 10m deep contiguous pile wall with a 120-year design life was constructed to secure a cliff face at King Edwards Bay. In Northampton, an 80m soil nailed solution with R32 hollow threadbars was deployed to stabilise a failing reinforced soil wall, overcoming buried service clashes through detailed 3D visualisation.

Dubai-based developer Arada has acquired an 80% stake in the £2.5bn Thameside West development at London's Royal Docks, marking its second major investment in the city's residential market. The Foster & Partners masterplan includes at least 5,000 residential apartments over 47 acres, with 1,000 homes in the first phase starting construction in 2027. The project, featuring a kilometre of waterfront and extensive green spaces, aims to transform the former industrial site into a connected, sustainable neighbourhood with 35% affordable housing.

O’Brien Contractors has commenced the infrastructure phase at the 606-acre Fairham development in Nottinghamshire, following the completion of major earthworks ahead of schedule. This £100 million investment, led by Clowes Developments and Homes England, will support the construction of 3,000 homes and over a million square feet of employment space. The current phase involves installing essential infrastructure such as highways, drainage, and utilities, including water, gas, electricity, and telecoms, while coordinating with local councils and National Highways to minimise transport disruption.
