Value:

<£1,000,000

Scope Of Work

We are tasked with the main adoptable drainage works for phases R16 & R17 at the prestigious Chesterwell development.

​

During our 18 week programme, we’ll be installing more than 1,000m of adoptable drainage, reaching diameters of up to 900mm and depths of 6.0m.  

​

To tackle the site's extensive groundwater, we're using the innovative Tracey Concrete PERFECT BASE™—a custom-made, watertight, monolithic benched concrete manhole system.

​

This project involves backfilling with over 8,500 tonnes of imported aggregate.  Our rigorous material testing ensures compliance with Highways Authority standards.  Additionally, we’re installing a bespoke Marshalls Civils & Drainage Weir Wall chamber, complete with Hydrobrakes. This 3.5m diameter chamber is so substantial that we’ve had to notify the police for a wide load movement!
