CCE are contracted to build storm lagoons & storm outfalls, roads, sewers & external works to properties once built.
We have also completed extensive 278 works to the main road, widening the Chestfield roundabout & upgrading creating new footpaths to the local area.

We have created a large attenuation lagoon to cater for the development’s storm water management.

Key Issues and how they were managed:

• Storm attenuation system built early to control storm water run off from the site activities
• Early roads, sewers & services to alleviate site access & site operations
• Adoptable drainage & road system, involving close liaison with the local authorities
• Service diversions on the roundabout to allow road widening.

Successful Outcomes and Key targets and project measures

• Earthworks complete in the summer months
• Storm run-off measures complete for Autumn
• 50% of roads complete by October 2022 to give access/maintain cleanliness on & off site

Lessons learned and Innovations and best practice

• Use of Marshall’s perfect manhole systems to avoid unnecessary confined space entries & to speed up drainage operations
• Early dialogue with service providers to avoid delays to service diversions
• In-house tarmac surfacing & 278 team to provide a far more flexible & reliable service for these works
• Tried & tested labour force that work efficiently & affectively on all work faces.
