1 Golden Lane (the ex UBS building) strip-out plan

 With UBS having vacated 1 Golden Lane, the building is to be redeveloped.  It is not clear yet exactly what "redeveloped" means, whether largely demolished and rebuilt as something else or merely cleaned up and re-fitted, but the first step is to strip-out the current internal fittings and drill some boreholes to study the ground beneath the building.

The work will be done by a firm called KpH who are, of course, considerate contractors.  Work details for the project were explained in the following letter and flyer, along with project contact details.

Here's hoping the boring is boring and they don't find any lingering WWII ordinance!

Dear Stakeholder,

I am writing to you to inform you of the Soft Strip Out and Borehole works that are due to commence at 1 Golden Lane from January 2022. I would be very grateful if you could pass this information on to anyone living in proximity to 1 Golden Lane so that they can also be fully informed.

The Strip Out work will be confined to internal, non-heritage elements of the building to ensure noise, dust and other disruption will be kept to a minimum. Removing the internal finishes in the building at this early stage will provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing building to allow the proposal to maximise re-use opportunities and ultimately reduce the programme duration of the development and any disruption to our neighbours.

Borehole works will commence on Wednesday 12th January and run for approximately 5 business days until Tuesday 18th January. The Soft Strip Out works will commence on Monday 17th January and are expected to be complete at the end of March 2022.

The following works have been planned:

• Borehole/ foundation survey tests to the south elevation vehicle ramp
• Soft strip of materials internally to the building, including waste clearance
• Removal of external plant and finishes to terraces/ roof

Noise monitoring will be undertaken throughout the duration of the works and will be constantly reviewed to ensure that is remains compliant with The City of London regulations.

If you have any concerns or questions about the Borehole works, please contact A2 Site Supervisor, Oliver Cottam or A2 Project Manager, Richard Beaumont. Their contact details are below.

• Oliver Cottam – 07446 944137

The Soft Strip on site hours are Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm and Saturday from 8am– 2pm, albeit work will not commence until 9am. Operatives will arrive on site from 7.30am for registration and inductions.
