Residential developments - Worcester Park

We have created a 3D ground model, which has achieved a cut and fill balance within the site boundary involving the movement of over 300,000m³ of soil.

Glanville has also developed a detailed surface water strategy involving "SUDS" based systems to restrict discharges from the site and have incorporated three large lakes for wildlife preservation and amenity use as well as several other water features.

In addition we have also be involved in negotiations with Thames Water, to facilitate the foul flows through a tunnel as well as facilitating the decommissioning and diversion of numerous sewers.

The high quality hard landscaping exceeds adoptable standard and is to a high standard of urban design. The layout deals effectively with the varied site boundary conditions and creates a new internal environment with its own character, the first phase requesting a "New England" style.

Engineering input

• On and off site highway design
• Sustainable drainage systems
• Ground remediation§ Ground profiling and modelling
• Services
• Structural design
• Negotiation with highway authorities
• Value engineering
• Liaison with Thames Water relating to existing tunnels, plant and sewers

We have worked, in a proactive manner, to develop many options to overcome obstacles and arrive at an efficient and cost effective solution.

The remediation issues have been overcome and worked into the site rationalisation to effect cost savings and beneficial land use within the park area.
