In this blog, we present a compelling case study that showcases the skill and determination of our team as they tackled a complex project and delivered an innovative solution that exceeded client expectations.

The need

The grid site was situated on a reed bed and flooded. The site needed to be raised by 2m to make it usable.

The brief

To design a compliant solution and fulfil all civils works for the following:

  • Site formation levels (raise levels out of reed beds by 2m)
  • Raise all ducts drainage bases for machines (and connection to grid)
  • Earthing
  • Ducting
  • Fencing
  • Create bases for machines

The solution

We used the Terram design to construct a piling platform that would raise the site to the level required. Vibro compaction was then used to reduce settlement caused by the 2m of infill and use of equipment.

“Taking on a flooded site of this nature and magnitude was an exciting, yet challenging, project. Through the sheer initiative and determination of our expert design team we were able to devise a solution that demonstrated what we do best – solving complex problems via innovation. The entire project was a mammoth undertaking from start to finish, involving high voltage cables, multiple contractors and client management. As always, we delivered above and beyond expectations – nailing the customer brief on time and to budget.”
