World Trade Centre
Rock Foundations (Gibraltar) Ltd are delighted to announce that the design and installation of the foundations for the iconic World Trade Center Gibraltar has been completed on time and on budget.Despite stiff competition from a number of competitors vying for the opportunity to be involved in this iconic building, it was the reputation and expertise that Rock Foundations (Gibraltar) Ltd has worked so hard to establish over the last ten years that ultimately influenced the client’s final decision.
With more than 20 specialist micro piling rigs and six larger diameter piling rigs in their arsenal, co-owners Andy Hinks and Andy McGowan believe the company is now in a good position to contend for similar projects across Europe.
Due to the high profile nature of the World Trade Centre Gibraltar project a rather special ground breaking ceremony took place on the site which was attended by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Mr Fabian Picardo who operated one of our remote rigs! The Chief Minister successfully wound the augers into the ground to a depth of approximately 2.5m after which he withdrew the augers and manoeuvred the rig to a predetermined location.
