    [post_content] => A development of 70 new homes on a brownfield site, designed to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3, with a mix of shared ownership, private sale and over 50’s flats as well as 4 retail units. Our scope of work covered ground investigation, foundation design, drainage and highways works. The houses were built as either traditional low-rise or contemporary 3-storey buildings using timber frame construction.

The ground investigation found considerable depths of made ground but the relatively light loading from the timber structures meant that vibro stone columns with reinforced ground beams could be used to provide an economical foundation solution. Drainage works required a diversion under a Section 185 Agreement whilst highway works included traffic calming measures and realignments throughout wider local area.
