Elephant Park
Elephant Park
Elephant & Castle is undergoing a transformation like no other. We worked closely with J. Murphy’s management team to carry out a hard-standing landscape package in a challenging environment.
Hard & Soft Landscaping to Complement Award Winning Monumnet
Description:
Provided hard and soft surfacing incorporating paving, kerbs, tarmac, reinforced concrete and lift base. Approximately 1500 m2 of paving, installation of road which included a subbase, base and asphalt.
We excavated around live services and relocated others. Provided back fill to exploration trenches, installed kerbs, paving and tree pits. Re-routed a road junction, reinstatement of road surfacing, installation of street furniture and completed the construction of a Santander bike stand.
Challenges:
A number of challenges surfaced but solutions were found to overcome them;
• Restricted access,
• Live services (some re-routed),
• Other contractors in area,
• Accelerated programme of works,
• Continuous changes to phasing – MCL adapted to all
• Onsite adaption to material
• Working around conservation listed oak trees
