The proposed development required the demolition of the existing community centre building, to allow the construction of a library, new community centre and associated car parking facilities on the lower tier and an adjoining doctor’s surgery and additional car parking on the upper tier.
The sheet piling element of this project involved installing a permanent retaining wall to facilitate construction on two levels.
Mansell appointed Fussey Piling as the sheet piling contractor to design and install a retaining wall across the site.
Once the sheet piles were installed and the front of the wall excavated, the pile clutches or joints were welded above formation level to provide a water tight seal to the wall.
The sheet piling was installed in just a week and Mansell were more than pleased with the quality and finish of the welding and engineering provided to them on this scheme.
