Depends on the size of the building and the ground buildup. You need to go a lot deeper in wet deposits (i.e. Bristol area as its reclaimed land) to get the structural capacity.

I would imagine that piles for a building like that would be concrete too. In my experience (which has nothing to do with the Civils side), steel piling is generally for retaining walls, etc - not colossal buildings like that.

Speaking of which, is a damn fine building! Would be a dream to work on something like that. Instead, I do 2 storey hospitals in Birmingham

Well it certainly is pretty but 800m is more fun to base jump off.

It's been done already, but that was before they put the windows in. It won't be possible any more now that it's sealed up, short of breaking a window.
