| Project: | Bass Lane Retaining Wall | ) » enlarge image |
| Client: | Bury MBC | |
| Value: | £375,000 | |
| Scope: | The project involved the reconstruction of an existing retaining wall on a very narrow road in Bury. The profile of the land beyond the wall was a very steep incline and, in order to overcoming access and safety issues, extensive temporary works were installed to provide earth support and safe working space during the construction period. |
| Project: | Bramhall Footbridge | ) » enlarge image |
| Client: | Stockport Council | |
| Value: | £55,000 | |
| Scope: | The dismantling of the existing footbridge followed by the reconstruction on new concrete foundations. The bridge spanned a water course and was located in the centre of Bramhall Park which created logistical challenges both to gain access for the construction works, and to provide protection to the watercourse. |
| Project: | Calderbrook Landslip Stabilisation | ) » enlarge image |
| Client: | Rochdale MBC | |
| Value: | £275,000 | |
| Scope: | This steep embankment in the Calderbrook area was suffering from landslip, threatening the integrity of a number of surrounding carriageways. The land was excavated to sound, stable substrata and rebuilt in compacted stone which was constructed in a stepped sequence. Further support was provided by a series of gabion baskets. Due to the incline of the land, the company utilised remotely controlled compaction rollers in order to eliminate fall risk hazards. Additional works within the contract included the reconstruction of damaged sections of carriageway and large drainage culverts in order to divert future water damage to the ground. |
| Project: | The Braid, Blackburn |
) » enlarge image |
| Client: | Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council | |
| Value: | £70,000 | |
| Scope: | No high specification city centre paving scheme is complete without a focal point. For Sudell Cross in Blackburn, the focal point was this 8 metres high metal & lighting sculpture. The installation of the sculpture required the formation of large foundations and four Chinese granite plinths, set-out using templates of the base, which the structure fitted perfectly onto. The erection of the feature was undertaken on Sunday to ease traffic congestion and required two cranes working simultaneously to position the structure correctly. |
| Project: | Bramhall Retaining Wall | ) » enlarge image |
| Client: | Stockport Council | |
| Value: | £225,000 | |
| Scope: | This wall was a long length situated adjacent to a very busy, but single, carriageway used as a main commuter route. The project was constructed in a number of phases, with several sections being completed out of hours. This approach to the project minimise the disruption caused to daily peak hour traffic. |
