Project details
To remove in situ pre-cast concrete slabs, break out defective drain and install new Gatic and brushed finished concrete slabs.
Project Principles and Objectives
The project had a tight programme and working in a busy live operations yard. Defective drainage was causing flooding and external damage and needed urgent repairs. Ryebridge was tasked with removing the adjacent 2m x 2m pre-cast concrete slabs and braking our removing and disposing of existing defective drainage.
Project Works and Key Quantities
· Removal of 800m2 of pre-cast concrete slabs;
· Removal of defective drainage and kerbs;
· Concrete- 800m2 of 300mm mesh reinforced brush finished concrete;
· Drainage installation of 123mm of 225mm and 300mm Gatic;
· Installation of 123m Marshals HB2 kerbs;
Innovation and Best Practice (VE)
With a relatively low scope and tight programme opportunities the VE were limited. The biggest risk was the lead time for the drainage material at two-three weeks and programmed completion being four. We resolved this by laying slabs in areas where the Gatics could follow on. We also added weekend working and longer days to ensure success.
Moving Forward
The success in this project reinforces our commitment to innovation, flexibility and close working relationships with all stakeholders. This was an extremely tight programme in a busy working area, but was completed without any disruption to operations.
Our clients can be certain that we have their objectives at the centre of what we do. In this particular project we are extremely proud that our ability to build relationships and add value to our clients is evidenced successfully throughout the works.
We are keen to continue developing our relationship with DP World and take on further work for the client.
