A TIGHT SITE

摘要

If the technical challenges of constructing Europe's tallest building were not enough, the Shard's construction team also has to grapple with the logistical nightmare presented by a constrained site in a bustling part of London. As well as the thousands of commuters coming into London Bridge station every day, there is also a bus station on the doorstep which has to remain running.

Together with pedestrians constantly swarming the area and narrow access roads, moving materials to and from the site is a major challenge.
