WORKS

The original client brief for the Coppice Lane retaining wall project involved isolated brickwork repairs. The work included setting up pedestrian management, clearing the site, demolishing damaged brickwork, and rebuilding the masonry panels using the existing footing. The wall was enhanced with free-draining gravel, weep holes, and expansion joints, with stockpiled soil reinstated and graded. Key challenges included managing traffic and pedestrians due to poor visibility, addressing scope changes as the extent of deterioration became apparent, and working through inclement weather. The project team ensured safety, effective communication, and site cleanliness throughout the process, resulting in a successful project completion.
