📍 Over the last couple of months you may have spotted us at Hamworthy Park! 🌳 For those of you that don’t know, Hamworthy Park opened in 1931 when 18 acres of marshy land with tidal lagoons was transformed into a community park. It is a much loved local space, giving the community a peaceful open space offering views across Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island, Arne and the Purbeck Hills. 🌊 The seawall has been under close observation for a number of years, with a number of significant cracks which needed addressing. Many of these have been repaired previously but have failed allowing the sea to wash out material from under the exposed edge of the promenade causing some sections to slump. 🦺 Suttle Projects were chosen to carry out these works to improve the seawall because of our extensive history in coastal and marine works. We also have a wealth of previous experience working within areas nominated as a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). Our program of works has strengthened a 200 metre-long section of the Eastern seawall to ensure it continues to protect the eastern promenade at Hamworthy Park from coastal erosion for the next 20 years! 🟢 There were many different elements to this project, including: - Excavation of the footpath. - Preparation of the sea wall. - Installation of the concrete formwork facing in 25m sections. - Re-bedding and tie in of the stones to the outlet wall. - Masonry & concrete slab repairs of both jetties. - Reinstate the Type 1 sub-base and tarmac footpath. 👏🏻 With any coastal project working with the tides can be a challenge, adding an extra level of complexity. Our subcontractor, Priory Formwork LTD who carried out the formwork worked efficiently in waders during high tide conditions to maintain progress. Their proactive approach and the diligence of our team ensured the project was delivered on schedule, meeting all quality and safety standards.

This project illustrates a practical application of ground screw foundations where high resistance to tensile forces is required. 🔩🌞 For this project, a tent structure was required at a location where digging was not permitted. Ground screw foundations were the ideal choice for creating anchor points, essential for setting up the tent securely. This method guarantees a quick and efficient installation without the need for extensive groundworks. #groundscrews #ecobuilding #screwfoundations #construction #sustainablebuilding #firstbasegroundscrews

Hot Topic: Temporary Construction Fencing So, you do a job walk or check out a google earth image, and give quote for private utility locate. You get to the job only to find that the entire work area has been closed in with temporary construction fencing. There’s one way in and one way out. All of the major utility surface features are just outside of the fence perimeter so now you have to walk 200-300 yards to disconnect and reconnect to each individual utility and/or multiple conduits. Every lap is added time you were not accounting for. Questions: Are you asking for a change order because your steps just increased tenfold for the day? Are you sucking it up and working on that power walk? Or are you simply explaining to the client, this might take a little extra time due to the fact that there will be some added steps because of the perimeter fencing that was not previously there? At the very least the temporary fencing can be quite annoying to deal with when locating. Just want to see what your thoughts are on a situation like this? Stay safe out there! Give us a call we know the drill!

Gotta love project start dates. 1st phase of a silicone fluid applied roof restoration kicked off this beautiful Monday morning in Irving Texas. We will completely clean off the existing roof surface to make sure the coating adheres most efficiently. Very satisfying seeing all that dirt and debris wash away.

Uneven landscapes pose unique challenges for chain link fence installations, but with the right approach, these obstacles can be overcome. A thorough site assessment is crucial to identify potential issues like rocky areas, soil consistency, and overall topography. This evaluation guides the selection of appropriate tools and techniques to secure fence posts effectively, ensuring long-term stability. 'While installing chain link fences on rocky terrain is undoubtedly more complex than on flat, soft soil, modern fencing technology and techniques have evolved to handle such difficulties efficiently,' states the team at QS Fencing, a reputable Vancouver fencing company. Specialized equipment like pneumatic or hydraulic rock drills, rock augers, or expanding rock anchors can provide reliable solutions that minimize labor and maximize installation effectiveness. Despite the potential hurdles, chain link fences offer significant advantages that make them suitable for rough terrain. Known for their durability and flexibility, they can withstand severe weather conditions and strain from uneven ground without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, chain link fences are often a cost-effective option, requiring less material overhead and adapting more easily to irregular landscapes, even when specialized equipment is needed. Regular inspections and prompt maintenance are crucial for ensuring the fence's long-term security and functionality, especially in areas where rock movement might affect stability. By addressing any shifts promptly, structural failure can be avoided. For those seeking to enhance the security and integrity of their properties in Vancouver, even on rough, rocky terrain, the team at @qsfencing is equipped to meet any challenge while ensuring durability and function. #fenceinstallation #chainlinkfences #roughterrain #vancouverfencing
