Projects
Remediation Work, Warwick Academy, Wellingboro' Case Study
It was a pleasure to carry out our first job for Lion Academy Trust, at the Warwick Academy school in Wellingborough.
Objective
Our objective was to remove an existing sub-base from an old paved area, and reinstate with topsoil and grass seed, and revert the area back to grass.
At the request of the trust, we carried out the work on our last day in work before the Christmas break, and when the children were not in attendance at the school, with safety in mind of course. We brought a digger and dumper to site and used a breaker attachment on the digger to break out the old concrete base on which slabs had been laid previously.
We removed the broken up concrete from site, using our own 8-wheel grab lorry. On the same grab lorry we brought in recycled topsoil, screened down to 20-40mm. We compacted this in layers using the digger, thankfully the weather was dry despite the time of year.
We used a total of 40 tonnes in the void, which we brought across the school field in a 3 tonne swivel dumper truck. The topsoil was finished with grass seed which we raked into the top couple of inches of topsoil.
We had quite a distance to go with the dumper truck and we did make an impression on the grass, despite it being quite dry. It could have been a lot worse though, for the time of year.
It was a pleasure to have carried out our first job for Lion Academy Trust and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
