Key Challenges
The project was also undertaken in sensitive ecological surroundings which in turn put restrains on our building methodologies.
The incoming services required complex shutdowns of energy supplies to neighbouring businesses ensuring minimum disruption.
Added Value
We were able to add value to this scheme through introducing the use of lime stabilisation, which allowed the ground to be stabilised without the need to export and import large quantities of ground materials.
We also provided design information for the adjacent Peel Development site to allow excavated materials from L175 to be moved across and levelled to suit the clients’ requirements.
When undertaking the design of scheme, we future proofed the building and utility services, allowing flexibility for future use.
Eric Wright Construction established a close working relationship with the client to achieve an early access date for tenant fit out.
