Following on from the regeneration of east Thamesmead one area remains undeveloped. Previously known as Tripcock Point, after the promontory called Tripcock Ness, the Tamesis Point development includes 14.4km of riverside frontage on the South Bank of the Thames and anticipated space for 2,000 new homes.

Tony Gee and Partners provided geotechnical input into the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the development. The vast experience gained in the area over the last 15 years and the fact that we have record of over 150 boreholes within the planning boundaries, made us the obvious choice for the project.

The development is split into 12 phases and id due for completion in 2016. Tony Gee and Partners was commissioned to carry out the site investigation for the first phase of this development in 2003. We offered cost savings to our client Tilfen Land Limited, due our knowledge of the area and availability of historical records. Phase 1 incorporates residential housing and two bridges spanning the landscape canal which runs through the area. One of the bridges also has adjacent residential structures which provide 'over-water' homes with views across to the wetlands conservation area and the nearby moats of the 'Twin-Tumps.' TGP Ashford has undertaken the design of the bridge and outline design for the associated residential blocks, pending planning permission.

This complete service from ground investigation to full design is the advantage of an integrated team of engineers at Tony Gee and Partners.
