Moorgate Ticket Hall Works at Moor House update Work on the construction of the Moorgate Ticket Hall for the Crossrail Liverpool Street station is continuing apace. Moor House is one of the first buildings to have been designed incorporating Crossrail safeguarding requirements, and the Moor House basement incorporates access into a ventilation shaft and associated service rooms for the new Ticket Hall.
In order to open up this area, over the last few weeks we have been breaking out some concrete backfill in front of the sheet piles of Moor House. This concrete is not structurally connected to the building. However we understand that the current method of demolition has caused a high level of noise and vibration within the building. Following discussions with the Moor House managing agent, Savills, we agreed to stop the breaking out while we reviewed our methodology to see if we could establish a less intrusive method of removing the concrete. Having carried out this review, we plan to restart the demolition on Tuesday 5 May, by locally coring and bursting the concrete. This new method should reduce any future disturbance caused to your offices during these works. We do apologise for any inconvenience that you may have experienced, and thank you for your patience while we complete the demolition works. We will continue to monitor noise levels associated with our works and will work within the permitted levels set by the City of London.
We will keep you informed of our planned works and mitigation measures for all future works in this area.
