Royal Works, Clayton-le-Moors
Client: Allspeeds Ltd
Description: An unstable boundary wall led to some urgent works at this industrial engineering site. DTM Groundworks Ltd were employed to first of all carefully remove the 100 year old original engineering brick wall and make the site safe. A new concrete foundation was then installed below the existing road level. DTM Groundworks Ltd then constructed a new interlocking concrete ‘Lego’ block retaining wall. Once installed the wall was backfilled, landscaping works carried out and a new powder coated 868 twin-wire mesh fence was installed to the top of the wall to secure the site. The work was completed within a few weeks with the site remaining open and secure throughout the works. Photos can be seen to the right.
