Bunker Uncovered
Earlier this year, Cad-Capture was awarded a contract by the London Borough of Newham to undertake full measured surveys and produce CAD floor plans of some council owned buildings, one of which included a nuclear bunker which has not been accessed for the past few years.
The bunker was situated under the main playground of a school in Newham. It was necessary to explore exactly what the bunker contained, as the Council had plans to develop the site in the vicinity of the bunker. To gather such information, Cad-Capture’s surveyors had to perform a full measured survey and take digital photographs from inside the bunker.
Access to the bunker was by ladder via a manhole in the school playground. Specialist equipment including breathing apparatus, winch and safety harnesses was required together with a portable generator for power and halogen lighting.
Upon investigation a warren of 12 rooms was discovered in the time-warp complex intended to house East London officials in times of national emergency. The building fabric had deteriorated somewhat and a number of rooms were flooded. The surveyors also noted possible previous access routes which had been blocked up over time.
Over the 10 years Cad-Capture has provided its AssetCapture solution, never has it had to survey such a unique space! Who knows what they might find next?
