Waterlooville Safe Route to School Footpath

OVERVIEW

Natta has successfully delivered a new ‘safe route to school’ footpath for our client Grainger PLC. This important piece of infrastructure provides the primary access pathway route to a newly built school, significantly improving connectivity and safety for pupils, parents and the wider community.

SCOPE OF WORKS

The works included the construction of the new footpath, ensuring it was built to a high standard to accommodate daily use by school children and the general public. To enhance safety and accessibility, we installed solar-powered bollard lighting as well as pedestrian signage along the route, creating a well-lit and clearly marked pathway for pedestrians. As a result the route supports a safe walkway throughout the day.

In addition, Natta installed surface water drainage and new filter drains to effectively manage rainfall and protect the footpath from flooding, erosion and long term deterioration. These drainage measures ensure the route remains safe and serviceable in all weather conditions.

As the pathway runs through established woodland, the project demanded a sensitive and environmentally aware approach. Accordingly, the team undertook the works with great care and precision to protect the natural habitat, preserve existing tree roots and minimise ground disturbance. Our team also worked closely with stakeholders to ensure the project’s construction methods caused minimal disruption to the environment. 

The project was delivered on schedule and was also completed ahead of programme. This achievement highlights our dedication to efficiency, quality and client satisfaction. Consequently, the completed route now provides a safe, accessible and environmentally considerate connection for the school and local community, demonstrating our ability to deliver essential public infrastructure to the highest standards.
