Project: GMV CMS
​
Scope: Enabling
​
Duration: 26 Weeks
Evolution Enabling were employed to undertake a fully encompassing service.
This consisted of:
-
Full site set up as PC
-
Removal off-site of over 20,000m3 of spoil stockpiled from historic phases
-
Full logistic set-up and supervision of all muck away operations comprising of material surveying, testing, weighbridge installation and management
-
Full groundworks and civils packages to prepare the site for the arrival of site concierge units
​​
Due to various works in the area under previous phases and differing main contractors, the logistic phase was particularly challenging. However, the spoil removal phase was completed on time and within budget without incident. The site was prepared for the arrival of the new development concierge suite, which included foundations, drainage, car park construction and external landscaping. Coupled with the contracted work additional works were awarded to facilitate the installation of further district heating networks, power, water and services supplies.
​
These works encompassed detailed traffic management planning with the local authority, the client and the various other contractors in the area. Deep excavations in the highways were designed, planned and managed to ensure safe works with all 278-works undertaken in house.
