Completing Groundworks and Retaining wall to a Riverside Residence in Salcombe

Groundworks and Construction Project in Salcombe


We recently completed groundworks and a retaining wall for a new riverside residence in Salcombe, Devon. Work began in January 2023. After demolishing the old house, we started construction on the new dwelling.

A key feature is the retention of the existing concrete slab at road level. We constructed a new concrete ground floor and retaining walls. We also installed drainage systems and built a concrete raft foundation with a pile foundation for added stability.

Challenges


One of our significant challenges was the limited access to the construction site. This required meticulous planning and section-by-section work. Coordinating demolition, foundation laying, and construction demanded precision and teamwork.

Despite these difficulties, our team adapted effectively. Each stage of the project progressed smoothly and efficiently.

Conclusion


Despite limited access to the site, we completed our phase of the riverside residence project on schedule. Now, other trades can begin constructing the dwelling.

The finished home will showcase our ability to manage complex construction tasks under restrictive conditions. With an innovative design and robust foundation, the new residence meets the highest standards of quality and stability.

We are proud of the outcome and look forward to our next project, confident in our ability to tackle any challenges.
