Mount Road, Flood Alleviation Project.
CPC Civils were successfully awarded the Mount Road Flood Alleviation and Sewer Refurbishment contract in 2015 and completed 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 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, in accordance with the Amey PLC’s timeframe, 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 involved managing the issue of Mount Road vehicle access.
Mount Road accommodates the Warburtons Ltd Depot which can only be accessed via the main road.
Subsequently Mouth Road could not be closed to the public to allow works to be undertaken.
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 worked with A-Star Road Services Ltd to design a bespoke traffic light system which ensured cars would not back up towards the main line crossing during peak hours.
This approach was agreed by all stakeholders including Network Rail.
To allow the road to remain open to the public CPC Civils relined and scoured 140 meters of the 225mm diameter pipe with a Cured in Place Pipe Lining (CIPP), which allowed for smaller man hole entrance and exit points and subsequently enabled a minimum of 3.3 meters of carriage way to remain open.
Furthermore, the temporary works were designed around having 40 tonne wagons loading to the side of the excavation.
To deliver the 66m3 outcome required, a larger 1.35-meter twin diameter pipe was laid over a shorter distance and using plastic piping which allows more clearance.
The pipe had a pre-installed dry weather flow channel, was installed offline of the existing system, and tied in at either end to allow the increase in storage capacity to meet the client’s specification.
