Balfour Beatty commences piling works at the O2 Arora Hotel

Balfour Beatty Ground Engineering (BBGE) has commenced piling works for the new O2 Arora Hotel in Greenwich.

The 1800 piles for the hotel are made of precast concrete and have been manufactured at the BBGE plant in Nottinghamshire to high levels of sustainability, containing 99% recycled steel and 25% cement replacement using 100% recycled water.

The piling marks the beginning of a construction programme that will be completed in two years.
