Construction of new Highways, Roads and footpaths to new development as part of the re-generation of old airfield and industrial land in Nottingham.
Work involved breaking over 7000m3 of rock to allow construction of 8000 metres of new adoptable foul, storm and highway drainage using pipes from 150-1500mm diameter.
Installation and co-ordination of Statutory Undertakers, services and laying of 12000 metres of mains and ducting. Kerbing and construction to 3500 of carriageway and 8000 metres of footways.
Over an 18 month period both of these waste sites were built. Mountsorrel was a brand new site and Lount was an extension and re-development of the existing site.
Works involved everything from site soil strip, cut and fill earthworks, foundations, precast and in-situ concrete walls, drainage, yard concreting, kerbing, service installation, new welfare and office construction and tarmac surfacing. Both sites were a new strategy on waste handling/disposal and were completed ahead of schedule, allowing early customer use.
Work involved all aspects of civil engineering and construction including earthworks, muck away from site, foundations, drainage, water cleansing, service installation, yard concreting, road and footpath construction, block paving and slabbing.
The two units were complete ahead of programme and under budget allowing the end users early access and increased productivity. The work was part of the Markham Colliery regeneration scheme.
Installation of new sewerage system to prevent downstream flooding to the town of Ashbourne. Work involved construction of new on-line storage tank pipeline within Conservation Area land along with upgraded chambers and installation of throttle system to prevent flooding during heavy rain or prolonged downpours.
Pipe sizes ranged from 150 -1200mm and work was not allowed to start until Autumn due to ecological constraints.
The work was completed well ahead of schedule even though the weather was ‘doing its worst’. The pipeline became operational and even though the final reinstatement to the grazing land had to be completed the following spring.
Laying of completely new sewer system to bring the whole village on line to Mains Drainage to allow removal of residential septic tanks and remove the risk of pollution to the area.
Installation of new Pumping Station, storage tanks and RBC sewage filtration system to allow discharge of clean water to existing watercourse.
Construction of the complete drainage system for the whole of the new waste management site including foul, storm, highway, siphonic roof drainage, leachate and yard drainage. On line storage, interceptor tanks, separator tanks. Pumping stations and pressure pipelines. Pipe sizes here ranged from 100mm to 1200mm.
Installation of complete Temporary Works system to large cofferdam involving positioning and removing 5nr. frames and excavation to formation. Cofferdam dimensions were 39metres long x 20metres wide and 13 metres deep. This work was extremely political and had to be done alongside numerous other contractors as M & E and Process Engineering was taking place at the same time as our civils work.
