Case Study:

Groundworks for Redrow – Swanland Heights, North Ferriby

We were appointed by Redrow to undertake extensive groundworks at Swanland Heights, a large-scale residential development in the picturesque village of Swanland, North Ferriby.

Project Overview

The site featured 56 high-specification new homes, requiring a broad scope of works delivered with precision and reliability over a two-year period.


Scope of Works

Our team provided a full groundwork solution including:

· Private drainage installation throughout the development

· Foundations up to damp-proof course (DPC) for all 56 units

· Paving and flagging of driveways, footpaths, and communal areas

· Retaining walls for structural and aesthetic purposes

· Backfilling and topsoiling to finish all external landscaping areas

This project demanded consistent quality and coordination over a prolonged build timeline, requiring flexibility and efficiency from start to finish.


Challenges

Given the size and scale of the site, several challenges emerged, including:

· Adverse weather conditions impacting excavation and foundation schedules

· General site issues, such as access management and the movement of heavy materials

· Coordination with multiple trades across a live and evolving development site


Solutions

These challenges were successfully overcome thanks to:

· A highly skilled and cohesive team that adapted quickly to changing conditions

· The strategic use of heavy plant and machinery to maintain pace and safety

· Strong collaboration with Redrow’s site management to ensure work flowed smoothly alongside other contractors

Our team’s proactive communication and problem-solving were key in maintaining steady progress throughout the project.


Outcome

The final result was a beautiful, well-executed residential site that now forms part of the Swanland community. The quality of our groundwork helped set the standard for the homes Redrow delivered, and we’re proud to have contributed to the creation of a new neighbourhood in such a desirable location.
