WORKS

This project involved constructing a new retaining wall in the rear gardens of properties 17 and 19 Downing Crescent, Bedworth, Warwickshire, to address the ground level differences between NBBC and nearby private properties. The residential setting required meticulous planning, including secure site access through property 39, with careful relocation and reinstatement of garden features. The construction process included excavation, concrete foundation work, and the installation of a blockwork wall and paragrid system, all completed under strict safety protocols and engineering specifications. Key challenges included managing resident concerns due to the mix of private and Local Authority housing, resolving access issues through collaboration with neighbours, and addressing design constraints and physical site challenges, including potential asbestos. Despite these hurdles, the project was successfully completed with a focus on safety, careful planning, and professional execution.
