Aarsleff has completed the CFA and Sheet piling works for a major new scheme that will protect homes in Newark from sewer flooding and provide a reliable water supply for decades to come. In 2016, Nick Wallace from Severn Trent explained that £60 million would be spent to replace more than 12 miles of old pipes with new, larger ones.

Aarsleff worked on Queens Road to facilitate the replacement of a tunnel with a 1.5 metre diameter one. We employed an ABI TM13 /16SL with a Hydropress to pre-auger,and further installed 28 (No.) PU22- 12m long sheet piles.

Due to being in a residential and restricted area, Aarsleff employed a Silent Hydropress to drive in the sheet piles to reduce the vibration.

Scope of works

CFA – 28 (No.) sheets

Equipment

ABI TM13/16SL with Hydropress

Construction period

10th May 2017 – 25th May 2017
