BWB's Role
Innovative engineering solutions
Tasked with designing all the on-site infrastructure, we delivered expert solutions for highways, drainage, earthworks, and utilities. Providing a multi-disciplinary range of services for the project, we worked collaboratively to meet requirements.
Navigating complex challenges
The key to this project was designing all the infrastructure to meet a phased development build-out programme. We took the lead and provided invaluable advice, which enabled the infrastructure to be delivered in a phased manner without compromising safety, accessibility or programme.
We also managed the site's extensive earthworks, ensuring minimal environmental impact while laying a robust foundation for the development parcels. This included a precise balance in cut and fill operations and designing a gravity-based sewerage system.
Collaborative excellence
Collaboration has been key to the success of this project. Working with landscape architects and local authorities, we have ensured that the project's design blends with its natural surroundings, reflecting a balanced and environmentally conscious approach.
