Pressure grouting is nearly complete, and we will be hoping to commence with the reduced level excavation.  We are also now at a point where our site compound is secure from the public.

The two photographs show the ground stabilisation going on, and we have removed a beech hedge following the results from the Ecologists bird nesting survey, which showed no birds nests were found within the area that would have needed removing.

Fairfield Go Green!

As part of Wates' Green Policy we have procured our temporary cabin set up, and have specified items such as the following to reduce our carbon foot print and energy use:

  • TRV's and timers on heaters to reduce our energy usage
  • Push taps in the toilets and canteen to reduce water usage and waste water
  • PIR's to all lighting in the cabins, so lights are switched off when there's no movement - saving energy
  • Low capacity cisterns to reduce water usage
  • Secondary door and door closers to the cabin doors to prevent heat loss and energy wastage
  • Protection has been erected around the trees on site to prevent any accidental damage, and our bird and bat boxes have been ordered for that area
  • The stone under the temporary compound area has also been sourced locally, and is totally recycled
  • Our Project Surveyor and Commercial Trainee are car sharing and promoting this initiative on site, they're also tracking their reduction in C02 emissions
  • Public Transport is promoted and displayed in the canteen to encourage use
  • Local suppliers and contractors have been sourced to help reduce our carbon footprint
  • A Habitat Hotel is to be constructed over the next two weeks, to provide temporary homes whilst construction works are ongoing.
  • C02 emissions are being calculated monthly as part of our environmental plan and we will take steps to reduce our carbon footprint
Keep a watch on our blog for further Green commitments by our team!
