Project Review

  • The Challenge

    We were engaged, without architectural design or engineered drawings, to provide groundworks to a new large 3-bay grain store and associated external access.

  • Our Approach

    We brought an initial hand drawn sketch to life, consulting with the agricultural owner and advising on cost effective solutions, including drainage strategy and cut and fill works, helping to locate the building in the preferred location.

  • Project Delivery

    Our works consisted of

    • Site strip and clearance
    • Extensive cut and fill works incorporating CBR testing
    • New SW drainage system incorporating french drains
    • FW sewer diversion and repairs to existing brick manhole
    • Diversion of existing SW sewers into new PCC manhole
    • Kerbing, ACO channels and gullies
    • Foundation for new pit mounted weighbridge
    • Sub-base, regulating and concrete slab preparation
