Enabling Works Complete at Temple Reach

One of the most important and often least visible milestones on any major development is the point at which a site is fully cleared, remediated and its ground conditions are properly de-risked.

Having achieved Gateway 2 Approval, Temple Reach has now reached practical completion of the enabling works. Site clearance and remediation are not simply about enabling construction, they are about creating certainty. Certainty that underpins confident decision-making as a project moves forward.

This phase has delivered:

• A fully cleared and remediated site, ready for construction
• De-risked ground conditions, removing key technical unknowns
• Greater certainty around programme and sequencing
• Improved confidence in cost and buildability
• A stable platform for safe and efficient piling and foundation works
• Reduced environmental and delivery risk for all stakeholders

As a former industrial site, Temple Reach required a rigorous, evidence-led approach. Addressing legacy ground conditions early removes unknowns, protects future users and establishes a strong foundation for delivery.

With site clearance and remediation complete, Temple Reach now moves forward on solid ground (literally and figuratively!).
