Danaher & Walsh was appointed by housebuilder Westleigh Developments to construct roads and sewers for their Lydney Grange development in Peterborough.

Project Overview

The homes, on a former light industrial site close to the town’s railway station, were built in partnership with social housing provider L&H Homes. 

The project involved the installation of Section 104 adoptable foul and storm sewers. The foul sewers comprised traditional clay pipes and precast concrete manhole chambers whereas the storm sewers used Weholite HDPE pipes and glass-reinforced plastic manhole chambers. 

The storm drainage installation also comprised a geotextile-lined depression area, a depression overflow chamber and a flow control unit. 

Outcomes

We worked closely with Westleigh in order to deliver a finished product that was fit-for-purpose and value for money.

The new sewers were connected to an existing main sewer on the adjacent Midland Road. The estate’s roads were built for Section 38 local authority adoption and a reinforced concrete pad was also constructed for use as a temporary vehicle crossover.
