Overview

Working with ISG LTD, Solum played a fundamental role in the groundworks package of the construction of a contemporary two-form entry primary school. The objective of the project was to build a primary school to accommodate a burgeoning housing estate, addressing the increasing demand for educational facilities in the growing community. Below are some of the contributions made by Solum throughout various phases of the project:

  • Retaining Walls
  • Foundations
  • Drainage
  • External Works

Challenges

Distinct challenges faced by Solum during the project:

  • Stream Diversion

    Redirecting a nature-sensitive stream with minimal impact through construction of a mammal-friendly bridge.

  • Water Management

    The high-water table of the project posed many challenges, which made excavation difficult. We overcame this by effective water management and over-pumping the excessive extraction of groundwater, surpassing the natural recharge rate.

  • Environmental Conservation

    Our team made a conscious effort to protect wildlife habitats, incoporating wildlife-friendly features in the construction of Badbury Park Primary School.

  • Traffic Challenge

    To maintain positive community relations and adhere to our project timelines, we efficiently organized deliveries and construction access to minimize disruption to local traffic and neighboring communities
