Overview
Our team was approached by a private client to install gabion baskets to their garden where the river Stour passes by. The river had caused movement to the existing riverbank, and our team was tasked with constructing a gabion wall to prevent further erosion and provide stability to the area. We worked with the client’s structural engineer to design the wall and collaborated with the environmental agency to ensure that the work was carried out correctly.
Scope of Work
To complete the project, we assessed the site and developed a detailed plan for the installation of the gabion wall. We worked with the client’s structural engineer to design the wall, ensuring that it met all necessary specifications for stability and strength. We then constructed the wall using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, carefully considering the environmental impact of the project and working closely with the environmental agency to ensure that it was completed to their standards.
Challenges
One of the main challenges of the project was working with the environmental agency to ensure that the project was carried out correctly. We had to ensure that the work did not negatively impact the surrounding area or the river, and that all necessary permits were obtained. Additionally, the construction of the gabion wall required careful attention to detail and precise measurements to ensure that it was built to the correct specifications. However, our team was able to overcome these challenges and deliver a high-quality result.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our team successfully completed the installation of gabion baskets to the client’s garden where the river Stour passes by. We constructed a gabion wall to prevent further erosion and provide stability to the area, working with the client’s structural engineer and the environmental agency to ensure that the work was carried out correctly. Despite some initial challenges related to working with the environmental agency and the precise construction requirements of the gabion wall, our team was able to successfully complete the project on time and within budget, delivering a high-quality result that met the client’s expectations.
