Introduction

One of the largest new housing developments in Crewe prepared for the construction of the storm water wet well, penstock chamber and associated pipework, requiring a trusted supplier for the temporary works.

The developers’ site required a 11m x 7.6m excavation to a depth of 9m to provide a safe working environment to facilitate the construction of the permanent works.


The Solution

Using ER750/8 trench sheets and 3 levels of modular hydraulic bracing systems including the 245UC, 305UC and the 406UC;

the design pushed each piece of equipment close to its safe working load limit to keep the kit specification as light as possible.


The Verdict

Despite being up against a competitor, MGF were the preferred supplier for McPhillips and secured the work based on quality service and value of engineering provided in the past.
