• Drainage Investigations

  • Over the past few months, we have undertaken site investigations, including camera inspections of the existing drainage systems, and consulted with a civil engineer regarding options to reduce the risk of future flooding.

• Civil Engineering Recommendations

  • Our findings and recommendations have been provided to the civil engineer, and we are now awaiting his formal recommendations before the required drainage works can be incorporated into the construction programme.

• Scope, Sequencing and Design Documentation

  • The initial wing and proposed sequence of works have now been confirmed. A scope of works has also been obtained and issued to the architect, who commenced preparing the required drawings and details this week to enable the works to proceed.
