Medway Operations Depot
CCE undertook the groundworks, highways and surfacing works for our client BBS Construction, on behalf of Medway Council at their new Medway Operations Depot, designed to relocate all of their ground maintenance and SEN school transport service vehicles and plant from the current Deangate Ridge Golf Club site to the new site located between Rochester Airport and the M2 motorway.
The scheme includes reprofiling the site to provide parking for operational and staff vehicles, as well as a secure plant storage area and provides office accommodation and welfare building, as well as a security gatehouse with controlled site access.
The project also included all associated facilitating works, temporary works, civil works, new buildings, drainage and new service connections; S278 works to form new site vehicular and pedestrian access, landscaping and all other necessary works to deliver the Operations Depot.
Key issues and how they were managed:
The site itself faced two main challenges – steeply sloping woodland to the north and sloping open space to the south.
Considerable cut and fill, as well as ramps were required to facilitate the proposed use. During the early stages of the cut and fill, the top layer of exposed chalk became very slippery when wet, so much so that all works with heavy plant had to be postponed until the surface dried out, the excessive amount of spoil that was being stock piled had to be carefully planned, moved and stored, in order to avoid any slippages down the sloped sections of the site and beyond.
