Car Point Sales, Rochdale

A collapsed stone river wall at Sudden Brook led to this commercial plot becoming an unusable and unsafe site. DTM Groundworks Ltd were employed to first of all remove the remnants of the 100-plus year old original wall and make the site safe. A cofferdam was then created to form a dry work area to enable a new concrete foundation to be installed below the water level. DTM Groundworks Ltd then constructed a new interlocking concrete block retaining wall. The difference in levels between the river and site meant this new retaining wall had to be 5.5m high. The installation of a Tensar geogrid tied the new concrete 'Lego' block style wall into the 6F2 stone backfill material. A new powder coated 868 mesh fence was installed to the top of the new river wall on completion. This represented a challenging project carried out in a live river. The site was up and running within a matter of weeks.
