DRAINAGE AND EXTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Effective surface water management around the new treatment building and car park was needed to reduce flooding risk and maintain access for staff and patients, with the works including the installation of drainage systems and ACO channels across the development.
Additional underground services were installed and coordinated with other site activities, ensuring all infrastructure connections were completed efficiently and to specification, so that the treatment building could operate at its full capabilities.
RETAINING WALLS AND SURFACING WORKS
On land, CFA piles provided the foundation for the two new RC flood walls, with PERI UK supplying specialist wall formwork to achieve the required structural finish and long-term flood resilience. The formwork system was integral to delivering the quality and accuracy demanded on a heritage setting.
Below-ground drainage, attenuation tanks, and a surface water pumping station were installed across the development, ensuring effective surface water management for the wider Rutland Mills scheme.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Operating within a live hospital environment required strict adherence to HSEQ procedures, controlled access arrangements, and close coordination with the principal contractor.
Despite challenging site conditions and winter working, the project was delivered safely and to the required quality standards.
