Client:Lovell Homes Sector:Residential Services:Civil Engineering, Planning Support Link Design Lead:Robert Gill

Link was appointed by Lovell Homes to undertake the design of the highway and drainage elements of a residential development in Newark, comprising of 309 new homes.

Link completed the production of a package of work to supplement the reserved matters application, which included:

Horizontal Geometry Assessment and masterplanning support and input
Swept Path Analysis
Proposed Levels Design
Proposed Drainage Design
Cut and Fill/Earthworks Design

This site was very complex with regards to the earthworks strategy due to the existing land use leaving foundry sands on site, the shape of the site and the site being very flat. Considering all of these factors, Link devised a detailed earthworks strategy, outlining the movements of the different materials on site. There was particular attention paid to the re-use of materials to minimise the material removed from site.

Client:L&Q Estates Sector:Development Infrastructure Services:Civil Engineering Link Design Lead:Robert Gill

Link was instructed on the development of a new 86 hectare residential development of circa 1600 dwellings. Building on our relationship with L&Q Estates who are working in partnership with Davidson Homes, onsite works involved the Section 38 residential spine roads, Section 104 drainage design and full technical approval packages. This residential infrastructure also consists of strategic footway and cycleway links which connect with all residential parcels, as well as amenity features such as ponds, swales and Local Equipped Areas for Play.

Link was also commissioned to undertake the Section 278 works which comprised a 4-arm 70m ICD roundabout, tying back into the existing A43 carriageway. In due course, the A43 single carriageway will become a dual carriageway, so we were also commissioned to design a footway/cycleway that met the same line and level for the future dual carriageway but for the current single carriageway works. This involved a complex design to ensure the levels would work with both the single and dual carriageway scenario.
