Van Elle’s Specialist Piling division has completed the installation of a king post retaining wall at the NEAR M1 J33 site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contracted by Costain Group PLC<\/a> as part of the National Highways M1 National Emergency Area RetroFit scheme<\/a>, we installed 130m of king post wall to support the construction of a new Emergency Refuge Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project involved installing 65No piles, each measuring 900mm in diameter and spanning between 7 to 9.5 meters in depth with beam heights between 10m and 12.5m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the piling work, our team managed all associated earthworks, panel installations and logistics, ensuring comprehensive project delivery in a confined working area next to the live motorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We utilised our fleet of specialised equipment, including the lorry-mounted STM20 for the construction of the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The intricacies of the wall design, characterised by its multiple levels and directional changes, presented notable construction challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite obstacles such as restricted access and navigating overhead services, our dedicated team completed the project to programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on our complete range of temporary and permanent retaining structure solutions click here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
