McGee uses Asta Powerproject ( R ) to make the ‘ impossible ’ Mayfair Hotel Megabuild a reality
- ELECOSOFT UK LTD -
Specialist Engineering Contractor , McGee , used Asta Powerproject to sequence and manage a groundbreaking five-storey mega basement for Claridge ’ s Hotel . Our cutting-edge planning and project management software enabled McGee ’ s project managers to implement pioneering techniques , mitigate structural risk , and coordinate material movements on an incredibly challenging site .
Asta Powerproject allowed McGee to :
● Sequence the execution of a 65,000-square-foot basement extension underneath a live hotel – something other engineering companies said was impossible .
● Coordinate complex labour schedules involving regular building contractors and a team of mining contractors working around the clock .
● Synchronise daily material deliveries from an offsite holding yard due to lack of storage space on-site .
● Complete the five-storey mega basement six months ahead of schedule to critical and customer acclaim .
The project received a Fleming Award and a Ground Engineering award and was the subject of a BBC television documentary , The Mayfair Hotel Megabuild .
Accepting an ‘ impossible ’ engineering project McGee has a reputation for accepting ambitious projects – from complex demolition work to facilitate the UK ’ s HS2 high-speed railway line to leading Phase 3 earthworks for the redevelopment of London ’ s Battersea Power Station .
But these projects seem straightforward compared
