Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Client: ABC Construction Ltd
Duration: January 2023 – December 2023
Project Overview:
The Highfield Residential Development involved the construction of a new residential community consisting of 50 homes, complete with associated infrastructure and amenities. TDL Groundworks was contracted to perform comprehensive groundwork and civil engineering services to prepare the site for construction and ensure a solid foundation for the development.
Scope of Work:
Excavation and Site Preparation: Conducted extensive bulk excavations, clearing and grading the site to ensure a level foundation.
Substructure Construction: Completed the construction of substructures, including concrete works and rising elements for each residential unit.
Drainage Systems: Implemented efficient under-slab drainage systems to manage water flow and prevent potential flooding issues.
Roads and Car Parks: Constructed internal roads and car parks, ensuring smooth and durable surfaces for residents.
Utilities and Services: Coordinated the installation of essential utilities and services, including water, gas, and electricity connections.
Challenges and Solutions:
One of the main challenges was managing the site’s complex soil composition, which included areas of hard rock. Utilizing our fleet of large tracked excavators and rock breakers, we efficiently broke down and removed the rock, recycling it where possible to minimize waste and environmental impact.
Additionally, the project required precise coordination with piling contractors. We constructed a robust piling mat and provided plant and labor to support piling operations, ensuring seamless integration of all foundation elements.
Results:
The Highfield Residential Development was completed on time and within budget, meeting all client specifications and regulatory requirements. The project showcased TDL Groundworks’ ability to deliver high-quality, reliable groundwork and civil engineering services, contributing to the successful creation of a new, vibrant residential community in Belfast.
