Mount Road, Flood Alleviation Project.
CPC Civils were successfully awarded the Mount Road Flood Alleviation and Sewer Refurbishment contract in 2015 and would complete works later that year.
CPC have been working on and around water since the mid Nineties and as such have gained a vastly experienced workforce.
Mount Road Flood Alleviation Project – Project Overview
The project was to reline and refurbish a collapsing 225mm diameter storm sewer which was approximately 140m in length. And also to increase the system’s capacity by 66m3 to alleviate flooding in the area. The main lining works also included twelve lateral connections and two patch repairs.
CPC Civils would complete all works in less than 12 weeks. This would be in accordance with the Amey PLC’s timeframe. We would undertake this while providing a service that was within the client’s financial envelope.
An innovative offsite-constructed dual pipe turret was introduced on the project by CPC Civils, lowering Amey PLC’s costs and increasing onsite efficiency.
The project would involve managing the issue of Mount Road vehicle access. Mount Road accommodates the Warburtons Ltd Depot (only accessible via the main road). Subsequently Mount Road could not close to the public to allow the team to undertake the works.
Furthermore, the final tie in man-hole was fifty meters away from a National Rail main line crossing.
To overcome the traffic management issue CPC Civils would work with A-Star Road Services Ltd. The partnership would enable the design of a bespoke traffic light system. The system would ensure cars would not back up towards the main line crossing during peak hours.
This approach saw agreement by all stakeholders. This would include Network Rail.
Undertaking specific works to allow the road to remain open to the public would be essential. To achieve this CPC Civils would reline and scour 140 meters of the 225mm diameter pipe with a Cured in Place Pipe Lining (CIPP). This would allow for smaller man hole entrance and exit points. Subsequently, this would enable a minimum of 3.3 meters of carriage way to remain open.
The design of the temporary works would be around having 40 tonne wagons loading to the side of the excavation.
To deliver the 66m3 outcome required, our team would lay a larger 1.35-meter twin diameter pipe over a shorter distance using plastic piping which allows more clearance.
The pipe had a pre-installed dry weather flow channel, was installed offline of the existing system. The team would then tie in at either end. This would allow the increase in storage capacity to meet the client’s specification.
