A multi-phase project including an extensive access road, enabling works and a river wall project.
all involving extensive pre-planning and detailed execution techniques and close collaboration with our customer.
Challenge
- Removal of the existing and construction of the new sheet piled river wall having to take place during tidal windows
- Construction of new infrastructure road on the alignment of the existing access road
- Site was located in a village location so community disruption needed to be minimised
- Construction of a new sheet piled wall in a tidal zone
- Geotechnically poor ground conditions and areas of hydrocarbon contamination
Solution
- Tamdown engaged with our supply chain, involving our piling subcontractor in discussions at an early stage to make use of our joint experience to complete the river wall during tidal windows.
- By carefully sequencing the access road construction we ensured site access was maintained for deliveries and other trades.
- Our teams coordinated the vehicle access routes and delivery times to best suit residents.
- We utilised a complex anchoring system to maximise land for development by Bloor Homes.
- By working with Bloor Homes environmental consultant together we identify areas of contamination to maximise potential reuse.
Outcome
- With a variety of challenges working closely with our customer throughout ensures the best possible solutions to all known and discovered challenges.
- The river wall planning and construction was a considerable project and delivered safely and successfully.
