Project Challenges & Solutions:
- Site is positioned over existing live services that supply a commissioned data centre which made it very challenging to install new servicesÂ
- Team had to vacuum excavation and carefully suspend live services using temporary worksÂ
- The site was also located in an area that is prone to settlement and geotechnical mitigation measuresÂ
- Careful design considerations were required to minimise any impact on future settlement
Scope:
- Installation of duct networks, precast chambers, pressurised systems, drainage networks and valves with a dewatering scheme due to high water tableÂ
- Installation of RC foundations, Â internal and external RC slabsÂ
- Hard and soft landscapingÂ
- Installation of roads, kerbs and all associated street furnitureÂ
