Richard Jackson Ltd were retained to provide engineering services in connection with the redevelopment of a former Canning factory. The redevelopment consisted of numerous retail outlets including Wickes DIY store, NETTO supermarket and a Farm Foods retail store.
The firm’s involvement commenced at viability stage undertaking assessments to assist in the production of the cost management plan, provision of information in support of the planning application and detailed ground investigation. Remediation of the site was undertaken as part of the brownfield redevelopment, which involved the firm determining gas protection measures and undertaking validation testing.
The scheme also involved extensive Section 278 works to upgrade the adjacent public highway, which incorporated design and specification of signalised junctions. The structures were supported on piled foundations and consisted of steel framed structures designed to maximise the retail area.
