| Another
urban generation scheme has been recently completed at the Barrow
Park, on behalf of the Borough of Barrow Council in Cumbria. This
was probably the most high profile work that the engineering division
has undertaken to date, and the project looks magnificent. Working to the client's budget and brief
Continental Landscapes can evaluate and produce a design which
complements all aspects, soil types, location, building type and
functionality.
Barrow Park Regeneration Scheme
A Contract on behalf of Leck Construction, working alongside
Owen Williams the design consultant and Steve Warbrick from Barrow
Borough Council.
The steps to the cenotaph had to be removed and totally
replaced, all 97 of these had to run in line. There were 2 gaps
to each step face and landing.
The path edges had to be installed. These consisted of steel
edges which had to be bolted together. Once the depth was correct
these
had to have steel pins hammered in to stop the steel moving when
the concrete was poured in. New drainage was installed which
involved the mains sewerage, and the final survey was videoed
through the
pipework and a completed tape of the drainage system given to
Barrow Borough Council.
This was probably the most high profile job that the engineering
division has carried out, and the project on the steps is the
centrepiece of the park, which will remain in the publics view
for many years
to come.
