CPC were contracted to Design and Install a SuDS tank as part of a flood defence project at Clarice Cliff school in Stoke.

• Full environmental mitigation required prior to access into private land; this involved Badger Licenses and translocation works, Nesting Bird protection, Vole licenses, Environmental licenses for crossing water courses around fish spawning seasons, ancient monument consent, natural England consents, Giant Hogweed mitigation, Organic farming construction methods, stock proof fencing, great crested newt mitigation, National Trust licenses.
• Once the environmental mitigation was completed in each section, each landowner had a bespoke access agreement to ensure minimal disruption to the customers. A 20m easement along the new pipeline route was fenced and stripped to allow the construction of the new pipeline.
• The new pipeline was installed to Severn Trent specifications; the 600mm main was ductile iron installed using an open cut method, and a 450mm main in PN16 Plastic installed using butt fusion welding. Once the main was installed thrust and anchor blocks are installed to allow pressure testing in 1km sections.
