Client: Severn Trent Water Partners: Pick Everard, NMC Nomenca
Pick Everard provided design services for NMC Nomenca for the installation of Ultra Violet (UV) treatment processes at Chequer House, Nottinghamshire. 3D modelling of the existing site and the proposed installation has meant that Pick Everard have not just provided a design to be constructed, they have also provided a model of the site for future works and a template for design of future UV water treatment projects for Severn Trent Water.
At fortnightly team meetings Pick Everard and NMC Nomenca reviewed the model; thoroughly interrogating the design and removing problems that would have only arisen once construction had started using traditional methods.
Client: Severn Trent Water Partners: NMC Nomenca, F&B Trenchless Solutions & Polypipe Civils
A £1 million project to reduce the flooding witnessed by numerous properties on Breach Road, Heanor has been successfully completed. The scheme works by quickly conveying the combined sewer water away from the properties at risk of flooding and safely storing it in a 163m long 2.1m diameter tunnel.
The solution is designed to limit the pass forward flows from the tunnel at 180L/s through a 30m throttle pipe which ensures the properties downstream remain safe from the flood waters. The complex hydraulic design of the scheme ensures minimal future maintenance and operates entirely without a single moving part.
Client: East Midlands Airport Partners: Galliford Try and AECOM
In a truly collaborative approach, East Midlands Airport (EMA) and Galliford Try successfully delivered a UK and industry first: a runway refurbishment on time and budget with zero accidents, through an innovative programme of seven consecutive 48 hour closures.
This project was a prime example of outstanding collaborative working between the contractor and airport whilst successfully managing the needs of stakeholders through an ambitious programme.
Planning, design and unique solutions were key to achieving success in resurfacing 150,000sqm of runway and replacing 1,200 Above Ground Level beacons (AGLs). Safety, security and sustainability were the top priorities and were effectively managed throughout.
Client: Daventry District Council Partners: Pick Everard, Canal & River Trust and JPP Consulting
A new waterway linking Daventry town with the Grand Union Canal would have clear social benefits and potential commercial benefits. An unacceptably detrimental impact on water resources however would put the sustainability of the proposal in doubt.
The objectives of the study were to understand the water resource issues through collaboration with Canal & River Trust (CRT) and to identify mitigation solutions which would ensure sustainability of the canal network.
The study involved first principle loss calculations and comparison with CRT hydrological model data to evaluate water resource requirements and an innovative mitigation which considers a wider application of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDs).
Client: Network Rail Partners: AMCO Rail, HBPW Consulting, 1st in Rail, ALE and Martello Piling
Close collaboration between AMCO and Network Rail allowed a 116 year old bridge (known as TCC 27A) to be replaced safely and efficiently with a future proof design for the people of Ilkeston.
This £3 million bridge replacement culminated in the innovative use of Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) to remove the old deck and place the new one in just 20 hours, minimising disruption to rail operations.
The success of the project was followed by the release of a hugely successful time-lapse video, raising the profile of the civil engineering profession.
