OVERVIEW

A new 1,500 unit major housing development, incorporating a new primary school, neighbourhood centre and central park over a 227-acre site.

SCOPE OF WORKS

As principal contractor, we were engaged to form two new 278 works entrances into the site, together with the bulk cut and fill to ready the land parcels for construction. Our scope also included the construction of the initial drainage and road infrastructure to service the first four land parcels.

The forming and planting of a 140,000m² public open space area which will provide the landscape centrepiece to the whole scheme.

Further technical challenges include the diversion and removal of existing HV overhead power lines, together with a new foul pump station and rising main, 7 m deep drainage and the logistics of managing works over such a large site.

“ "After completing the main infrastructure, road and drainage works for the Wantage site, we then undertook the groundworks for St Modwen Homes on the 1B Parcel. Works consisted of groundworks for 101 houses and flats with associated infrastructure. The units comprise traditional strip foundations with brickwork and block beam floors. As a valued client, we hope to have many more schemes for St Modwen Homes in the future." Matt Sainty Commercial Director, Natta
