Aaron Morby | Wed 3rd June | 7:14
The Royal Mail Group has signed up BAM Nuttall for a major remediation job at its former mail centre site in the Nine Elms regeneration area in South London.
The 14-acre site has been used by Royal Mail since the 1970’s and prior to that was part of the Nine Elms Gas Works, which was built in the latter part of the 19th century.
Work will now start on site clearance, demolition, utility diversions, bulk earthworks, and remediation including onsite soil and water treatment.
The site, which is currently up for sale and has been valued at more than £600m, will be prepared for the proposed development of up to 1,870 high-rise homes, a primary school and over 6 acres of public space.
BAM bags £64m Project ICE Glasgow hospital facility

The University of Glasgow has named its project team after submitting plans to build a pioneering new medical research facility at the South Glasgow Hospitals Campus.
BAM Construction is on board as part of the project team to deliver the £64m Stratified Medicine Imaging Centre of Excellence at the site of the former clinical building called ‘The Roundhouse’.
The new building plan, codenamed Project ICE, will house the UK’s first 7 Tesla clinical MRI scanner, together with supporting research facilities bringing together clinical and academic experts in dementia and brain imaging.
The scanner will offer researchers the opportunity to learn more about a host of brain conditions such as stroke, dementia, brain tumours, Parkinson’s, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
Demolition of the site is expected to take place this summer with construction hoped to start on the 5-storey building in the autumn.
