Légende

Paternoster Square, City of London, 01/03/1962. A team from Ground Engineering Ltd carrying out a site survey with a soft drilling rig during construction of the Paternoster development. Work on the Paternoster development was carried out in a joint venture by John Laing Construction Limited, Trollope and Colls Limited, and George Wimpey and Company Limited. The scheme involved the redevelopment of a seven acre site on the north side of St Paul’s Cathedral. The site had been almost entirely devastated during an incendiary raid in December 1940. The development consisted of a series of office blocks, a shopping precinct, an extensive piazza and a three-level car park. The Ground Engineering Ltd team shown in the photograph were from one of Laing's subsidiary companies. The main services they provided were soil investigation, drilling and site dewatering.
