Chatterley Valley
Chatterley Valley Development Site, Stoke-on-Trent
Link were appointed by John F Hunt Regeneration Ltd (JFHR) to undertake the infrastructure design for Harworth’s development site in Stoke. The project scope was to construct the site infrastructure and create a number of development plateau’s in preparation for the future vertical build.
This site has a highly variable topography (falling over 50m along its length) and a number of constraints including shallow mine workings and mineshafts, significant depths of made ground, a public right of way and the West Coast Mainline bordering the site boundary.
Our design included:
- Full 3D modelling of the earthworks (>700,000m3 of cut and fill);
- Geotechnical design and validation including ground treatment by surcharge and monitoring;
- On-site highway and street lighting to adoptable standards (via a Section 7 agreement with Staffordshire County Council)
- Surface water and foul water drainage systems including two large attenuation ponds.
- Liaison with Network Rail (NR) for any necessary precautions, approvals, or modifications in proximity to the railway infrastructure.
- Review of historic coal mining reports and records and design of treatment for shallow workings and a number of mineshaft caps across the site.
Link undertook a number of value engineering exercises to optimise the drainage design and simplify the ground treatment approach, whilst ensuring the end product would satisfy the client performance specification.
