Flamborough Glamping Site Enabling Works
Case study
Flamborough Glamping Site Enabling Works
Site enabling, highway, drainage and utility provision for Flamborough Glamping
Scope
To provide all works necessary to establish all site
drainage and utility provision to each glamping pod base throughout this new development.
Further works included establishing access from
the highway in compliance with Specification for
Highway Works, profiling of land and drainage
given the topography of the site.
Key Aspects
- Grading & levelling works
- Link road and highway access provision
- Footpath provision to each pod
- Sewage Treatment Plant provision to ensure GBR compliance and installation to considerable depth
- Mini electrical sub-station and installation
- Ducting and cabling for electric & data provision (telephone/internet)
- Pod base establishment
- Drainage and utility provision to each pod including potable water, surface and waste- water
- Watercourse maintenance to maximise aesthetic appeal and discharge
- Watercourse re-profiling to assist landowner health and safety obligations
- Assistance with lifting and connecting of pods into positions PROPOSED SITE LAYOUT ACTUAL INSTALLED PROPOSED HIGHWAY ACCESS & LINK ROAD
