Scope of Work

Our work consisted of the groundwork element of a project to refurbish an existing commercial unit to enable its use as a local water services depot with both offices and a storage/plant yard.

The area surrounding the building needed to be converted to provide suitable parking facilities for up to 200 staff and also accommodate the aggregate/topsoil stores and plant and equipment.

Fencing, barriers, landscaping, signing and external lighting were incorporated together with allowing 24/7 access and segregating vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Some of the challenges faced were demolition of a World War II bunker, delicate removal of vegitation whilst maintaining the habitiats of various wildlife species and the protection of particular oak and ancient trees. Safe access through the site must also be maintained at all times for access to neighbouring industrial units.

Work included

• Demolition of WWII Bunker (brickwork shelter & arch crushed on site for reuse as hard core)
  
• Site clearance (tree cutting & shrub removal prior to nesting season - full eco survey carried out)
  
• Ground clearance
  
• Move material over uneven ground & compact – 150 x 200m
  
• Surface water drains & gullies & oil separator

The project was undertaken in 2 phases;
Phase 1:

• Break-up of existing flexible pavement of the Dinghy Park in order to achieve safe angle of repose for removal of existing gabions.
  
• Removal of existing damaged gabions.
  
• Installation of 3 layers of gabion baskets, and associated geotextile membrane.
  
• Reinstating of Dinghy Park.
  

Phase 2:
Installation of rock armour to front of gabion baskets in order to dissipate the energy of approaching waves in storm events.

The work was successfully carried out and difficulties such as gaining access to beach for vehicles and machinery, limited working space during periods of high tide and ensuring public access to the beach remained for the duration of the works were all overcome during the course of the project.
