Wolffkran Deploys Five Cranes At London Site

Wolffkran has deployed five tower cranes for Phase 2 of the Television Centre redevelopment in White City, London, supporting a mixed-use project led by Mitsui Fudosan UK and Multiplex Construction.
The development includes two residential buildings—The Ariel, a 23-storey tower with 167 units, and Scenery House, a nine-storey block with 180 units. Four WOLFF 355 B cranes were installed between July and August 2025, with one crane reaching a freestanding height of 95.2 m during core construction.
Post core completion, a WOLFF 630 B crane was installed atop the structure to support further works, while dismantling adjacent cranes.
The site posed significant logistical challenges due to its proximity to the London Underground. Cranes were restricted to 75 per cent lifting capacity and required foundations 33 per cent stronger than standard. Despite constraints, the cranes’ lifting capacity and compact jib design enabled efficient operations without oversailing railway tracks.
The project required precise planning for assembly and dismantling, including the use of a 650-ton mobile crane under constrained site conditions.
Wolffkran’s experience in dense urban environments and rail-adjacent construction enabled execution within tight timelines and regulatory constraints.
