Trimley St. Martin Housing

LPL were contracted to contribute to the development of a housing estate in Trimley, St Martin. The LPL construction and civils division undertook the groundworks for the project, which included laying 6,200m² of block paving and 1,800m² of paving slabs.

Below the surface, LPL installed 13 soakaway crate tanks, a 180 linear meter infiltration drainage system, and a 5-meter-deep PCC downstream defender. Additionally, the team excavated and installed a 100m³ attenuation pond to manage surface water drainage.

Over a 10-week period, LPL completed S278 and Section 50 works, which involved forming a new bellmouth (for flow and level control), establishing adoptable drainage connections within the road, service diversions, widening existing adoptable footpaths, and creating road islands.

The scope of work also included installing both adoptable and private drainage systems up to 4 meters deep using clay, concrete, and plastic pipes. The client was highly satisfied with the quality of the completed work, and the project was delivered on time.
