Norman Road

While at Waterman Boreham, I was project manager responsible for delivering the highway improvements for 800m of road to a proposed Energy from Waste facility.

This project included the provision of two new access points, widening of the existing road, the realignment of two ditches, (which were water vole havens) and the upgrade of an existing signal junction on a Transport for London (TfL) strategic route.

The site consisted of made ground underlain by Alluvium which involved the use of a technique called Deep Dry Soil Mixing to minimise settlement problems.
