Client

HDSA Hove, East Sussex

Description

The car park at the Hove Anglers Club was in need of repair.  Following the winter storms retaining wall had been undermined and had caused damage to the reinforce structure. Voids had formed under the car park hard stand where the shingle beach had been washed away.

Excavations were undertaken with 15 tonne excavators during low tides, a shingle berm was formed to keep the site dry in all but the highest tides. Formwork and concrete pours were carried out to complete the work.

Job Title

Haslemere High Street Car Park

Client

Waverley Borough Council

Description

Complete resurfacing of the town’s main car park adjacent to the busy supermarket, including base repairs, installation of new drainage gullies and reconfiguring the ticket machines and kerbing. On completion of the surfacing, the whole car park was line marked.

We machine laid 200tonnes of surfacing with a paving machine that was small enough to maintain access and had the advantage of being quicker than hand laying, keeping the project on track. Work required liaison with the super market and adjacent businesses management and security staff.

Safe access was maintained for pedestrians and traffic whilst keeping a minimum of one third of the car park open at all times. This was achieved through planning and effective communication with stakeholders and the use of night time working to reduce the disruption to shoppers and the public whilst the work was under way.
