LUTON TO DUNSTABLE BUSWAY, HIGHWAYS CONTRACT

Client: BAM Nuttall Ltd PROJECT DETAILS

The proposals were to widen the existing railway corridor north-west of Skimpot Road Bridge to accommodate the proposed bus way alignment. To achieve this within the site boundary it was necessary to remove an existing wooden crib wall and replace with a more robust crib wall at the toe of the slope. The Ecocrib wall was 60m long and had a maximum retained height of 3.8m. The design was based on a 2m wide mass gravity structure, approximately 223m2. Construction of the wall commenced on site 23rd January 2012. Construction was completed in 2 weeks, which included placing 1200m³ of backfill to the Ecocrib wall.

REBUILD OF FAILED GABION RETAINING WALL. HIGHWAYS CONTRACT, MELDON, OAKHAMPTON, DEVON

Client:

South West Highways, Devon Highways PROJECT DETAILS

Ecocrib walling was used to retain a cycle path alongside a railway platform at Meldon quarry. The cycle path is part of the National Cycle Network between Oakhampton and Lydford Gorge. The cycle path was retained by a gabion wall which was failing due to corrosion caused by the aggressive acidity of the soils. Devon Council chose Ecocrib walling because it would not be affected by the aggressive acidity of the soils and the environmentally friendly nature of the Ecocrib.

Ecocrib 120m², maximum 3.5 m retained, Commenced on site 12th January 2012, Completed 15th January 2012.
