Case Studies

We have a selection of recent projects – both current and completed – which demonstrate our versatility working in multiple sectors on projects which have varying demands in terms of cost, time and quality.

PARSONS HILL, GREAT BROMLEY, ESSEX

PARSONS HILL, GREAT BROMLEY, ESSEX

£750,000.00

Scope: Roads and sewers including Section 50 works, 20 new build social housing units up to DPC including external works and drainage.

This project was carried out for a regional building contractor whose ultimate client was a housing association. The site access road was constructed to adoptable standard, which required close liaison with Essex Highways in order to get imported materials approved for use. The works also included a storm water storage lagoon and associated pre-cast concrete headwalls. The external works included over 1,200 square metres of permeable block paving.

SPADE LANE, SITTINGBOURNE, KENT

SPADE LANE, SITTINGBOURNE, KENT

£400,001.00

Scope: Extension of two concrete hardstanding areas including surface water drainage.

This project was carried out for a regional refurbishment contractor and was located at a large industrial facility that remained in operation during the works. The works comprised the construction of two large concrete hardstanding areas, totalling 1,400 square metres. Each area was also served with a new stormwater drainage system, including crate-type attenuation tanks, which connected into the existing drainage network. Area “B” included the construction of an 80 metre long, 2 metre high retaining wall, constructed with fabricated steel “L” sections and pre-cast concrete panels.

STORTFORD ROAD, STANDON, HERTFORDSHIRE

STORTFORD ROAD, STANDON, HERTFORDSHIRE

£1,050,000.00

Scope: Roads and sewers including Section 278 and Section 50 works, 23 new build residential units up to DPC including external works and drainage.

Working for a regional housing developer, this project included roads and sewers in addition to a Section 50 drainage connection outside the site. We also acted as Principle Contractor for the “Stage 1” works, which involved formulating and adhering to a detailed traffic management plan for vehicles entering and leaving site, as the site is located on a busy “A” road. The project also featured challenging level differences on site, with over 250 metres of brickwork retaining walls to combat this.

Whalebone Lane North, Chadwell Heath

Whalebone Lane North, Chadwell Heath

£165,000.00

Scope: Roads and Sewers including Section 278 and Section 50 works, 55 new build residential units up to DPC including external works and drainage.

Awarded this contract by a regional housing developer, this challenging project included roads and sewers, two large attenuation tanks and complex Section 50 drainage connection works. During these sewer connection works a large degree of coordination and liaison with the Local Authority and surround residents was required to cause minimal disruption. Additionally, we acted as Principle Contractor under the CDM Regulations for the “stage one” works, allowing our client to relax until we hand the site over at “oversite” level.
