CPC Civils were successfully awarded the Kingsholme Road, Gloucester (Phase 3) contract in February 2013 and completed works in January 2014. The scheme was to deliver upgraded and refurbished sewer and storm water systems to the Kingsholme Road area.

CPC Civils undertook the construction and laying of 1,016 meters of new pipe, with sizes ranging from 150mm diameter to 900mm diameter. This included all lateral connections as well as the construction of 25 new man holes, with a full road reinstatement.

Additionally, CPC Civils were required to install drive and reception shafts for the installation of a new 150mm rising main section, which would run into the new system, reception and drive pits. This would subsequently allow DELTA Drilling Company to install a new auger bored 900mm pipe.

The project faced major engineering challenges to the installation of the pipe work, due to the poor ground conditions (a mixture of running sands and gravels) and high-water table. CPC Civils worked with North Midlands Construction and Enterprise to overcome these challenges, and to find practical and safe methods of replacement pipe construction. As a result, sealed sheeted pits were installed for the entirety of the pipework.

Furthermore, well-pointing and sump pumps were installed to maintain a water table which was low enough to safety install the pipe system.

Additional air testing was carried on all pipework throughout the installation phase to ensure product quality under the conditions.

Finally, additional gangs were tasked on the project to help maintain programme and minimise preliminary works and subsequently costs to the client.

CPC Civils also worked in collaboration with the Highways Agency to ensure local businesses could remain operational and to ensure they had safe access routes, including effective signage for the public, to minimise any loss in trade.

“I could sit and write multiple examples where CPC and your team have, in my opinion, gone above and beyond what would normally be expected. I would however just like to say that this ongoing attitude, and excellent working relationship, has not only aided Centro in 2 current Metro extensions it has also given me huge confidence in the planning of 5 further Metro extensions. It’s also made my job very enjoyable”

Wayne CockrellUtilities Officer - Centro

“Interesting weekend replacing a 12m length of sewer that had collapsed underneath a railway line in Bloxwich. Within 48 hours the team were able to diagnose the problem and work up a design and complete the repair. Amazing collaboration between STW, Amey, CPC and Network Rail”
