Type of contract
Design and build contract

When we were approached by Winvic Construction to begin discussions on Units B79, B58
and B41 at St Modwen Park, Burton Phase 4 and 5, we were equipped with a wealth of experience in the area and a good understanding of the ground conditions.

Two solutions were proposed, a driven precast concrete pile solution similar to what we had installed previously, and a ground improvement package via the installation of rigid inclusions. Ground Improvement scheme delivers value-added solution for logistics park. The latter proposed nominal 300mm diameter rigid inclusions installed on a designed grid layout to suit the ground bearing slab specification loadings, delivering ground improvement to meet the project performance specifications, as well as rigid inclusions
for the structure pad foundations.
