Structural Retaining Wall Construction at West Hampstead Police Station

Project Overview

FCDrainage.com was appointed to deliver a critical structural solution at West Hampstead Police Station. The project scope included the construction of a new retaining wall, incorporating substantial footings and underpinning works to ensure long-term stability and safety.

Project Requirements

West Hampstead Police Station required a robust retaining wall to manage soil stability,
prevent ground movement, and protect adjacent structures. Due to the nature of the site
and its proximity to existing buildings, precise excavation, careful planning, and expert
underpinning were essential to mitigate risks and maintain site integrity.

Our Solution

Our experienced team conducted a comprehensive site assessment and developed a tailored engineering solution. The works involved:

Excavation and Ground Preparation: Safe excavation procedures were carried out,
adhering to strict safety and environmental standards.
Foundation Works: Deep, reinforced footings were installed to provide a solid base for the retaining wall.
Underpinning: Existing structures adjacent to the wall were underpinned to reinforce
their foundations and prevent settlement or movement during and after construction.
Retaining Wall Construction: The new retaining wall was constructed using high-grade materials, ensuring long-term durability and structural integrity.

Challenges Overcome

Working within the confines of an operational police station presented several challenges, including limited access, strict security protocols, and the need to minimise disruption. Our team coordinated closely with station management to schedule works effectively, ensuring continuous operations at the police station throughout the project.

Results

The completed retaining wall has significantly improved site stability and safety at West Hampstead Police Station. The high-quality construction ensures durability and compliance with all relevant structural and safety regulations. Our professional approach and efficient project management ensured the works were completed on time and within budget.
