McCoy Contractors undertook the site enabling works contract direct for the developer.

The scope of this design and build contract included; on-site bulk earthworks to create the new development platforms and external areas, due to the variable nature of the ground being excavated all the material was subject to lime stabilisation during the filling operation.

To reduce the amount of imported aggregates required we designed a lime & cement subbase replacement layer to the external areas and for use as a piling mat.

The site had previously been subject to significant depths of upfill, to provide a suitable platform for the buildings we undertook ground improvement using a combination of both Vibro-Stone Columns and Continuous Modulus Columns with follow up testing to verify they achieved the required working loads.

The project was successfully completed on time and within budget.
