‍

CHALLENGES

• The development had been built 1 year prior to JLES commencing work on the site, so in-depth liaisons & investigation works were required to determine WCC’s essential features for adoption.

• Due to the development only having one point of access and egress, extensive resident liaisons were required to ensure the binder course and final surfacing were completed with minimal disruption and complying with all health and safety requirements.

• Several driveways on the development were not constructed to the correct spec, JLES completed a set of trial holes to identify the current construction condition.
