Summary

Foundations for Growth in St Albans: Extending an Existing Building with Precision and Care

In the heart of St Albans, a project was undertaken to lay the foundations for a large extension to an existing building. Utilising straight pouring with extension chutes and a custom-built chute on site, our team reached even the trickiest sections, ensuring a robust foundation. This case study explores the challenges, techniques, and successful execution of this significant project.

Job Background

First Impressions and Strategic Planning

This project marked our first delivery to the location, leading to subsequent work for oversites and additional foundations. Using Google Maps, we assessed access and ground safety, a critical step in ensuring a smooth process for the renovation and construction of the new building in St Albans. The ability to adapt to a new location and build trust with the client set the stage for a successful collaboration.

Requirements

Quality and Timeliness

The project required the on-time delivery of 12m^3 of C25 foundation grade concrete, all adhering to British Standards. This specific grade was chosen for its durability and strength, essential for the foundation of a large extension. Good communication with the customer enabled a straight pour, reflecting our commitment to quality concrete delivery in St Albans. The coordination between our team and the client ensured that the right materials were delivered at the right time.

Challenges and Solutions

Adhering to Noise Pollution Rules and Tight Scheduling

With no access restrictions but noise pollution considerations, we faced a unique challenge. We couldn’t start until after 8 am on a Saturday due to local regulations, and the need to complete the job before 10 am added pressure. Our team’s ability to plan and execute within this tight window showcased our adaptability and respect for community guidelines in St Albans.
