What we are doing
Water Orton South Compound – Watton Lane
Last year we mobilised into an area to the south of Watton Lane and the east of the M42, M6 Toll, in Water Orton. (Location shown on map on page 2). We created the access and have been setting up the site since, with the installation of office, welfare facilities, lay down areas and a car park.
What work will be taking place
During the coming months BBV will be completing the listed works below:
• Delivery of equipment and materials: randomly on a weekly basis
• Construction of scaled trials for deck purpose
• Construction of preliminary pile load test at abutment
• Construction of the piling/cranage platform at abutments
• Installation of bentonite plant.
Bentonite plant
Bentonite is a naturally occurring, non-toxic, fine particulate clay. It is used widely in construction to form solid structures and will be used to aid our construction of the Water Orton Viaducts. We manage the safe use of bentonite through consents, physical and operational controls, continuous monitoring and emergency response procedures.
