Major Civil Engineering Contractor Skanska has employed Geoforte on a tricky and tight access project to build bridge abutments, wing walls and associated drainage for the new Catthorpe Viaduct over the M1 at its junction with the M6 using a reinforced earth modular block dry build system.
Working under a strict Health and Safety and Quality Assurance regime within a phased programme of construction immediately adjacent to a motorway contraflow, our direct works team’s activities also had to dovetail into the reinforced concrete wall build which was being carried out in sections in parallel by Skanska.
Close coordination with the Principle Contractor including regular briefings, early and ongoing workforce involvement and effective communication on site through progress meetings are paying dividends in build time and the implementation of safe working methods.
