Cawarden delivers Civils and Groundworks services to new homes development in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Working on behalf of the main contractor for East Midlands Housing Group, Cawarden delivered the civils and groundworks services to facilitate a new 56-plot housing development being brought to the market.

The scope of works included the installation of the new road and sewers into the development, including S278 and S38 works. Foundations were installed for all 56 plots, along with the sub-structure brick and blockwork up to DPC Level.

The site threw up several underground issues and obstructions that were unforeseen prior to the commencement of the foundations. The team handled these expertly, working in collaboration with the client, by removing the obstructions in a timely manner to avoid a detrimental effect on the programme. Where the obstructions could be left in, an amended foundation design was implemented to overcome this issue.

The plots were handed back to the client in line with their build programme to progress the superstructure works and continue to follow us around site.

Collaborative working with the follow-on trades ensured continuity of work and phasing.

The completion of the scheme will bring much-needed Shared Ownership, Affordable Rent and Rent – To – Buy properties to the area.
