With momentum building on site and behind the scenes, we would like to report that May saw Somerset continue to progress well through the structural phase.

Solid progress has been made across both cores (staircase and lift shaft) and the suspended slab works. Somerset East core vertical works continued ahead of the jumpform being erected and Somerset West has been set to have its jumpform installed in June. Jumpforms help with the construction of lift and stair cores when the formwork gets jumped from one level of a concrete structure to the next, thus increasing construction speed and reducing reliance on cranes.

With basement slab works now complete, activity across site has continued to build as the focus shifts further into the above-ground structure. Multiple areas are now progressing, including the formwork, reinforcement works and pouring of the ground floor suspended slab. With more of the structure now visible, buyers will begin to see Somerset’s scale and form emerging over the coming months.

Overall, the project remains on track to the construction program, with close coordination of logistics, crane operations, and follow-on trades continuing to play an important role as works continues to ramp up.
