Cowran Estate Services led delivery of the retaining-wall and drainage package under A.E. Yates within a United Utilities capital-delivery project. Cowran coordinated the people, plant, concrete, drainage, structural activities, earthworks and project records needed to turn the designed solution into controlled work on the ground.
The challenge
A slipped embankment beside the brook required retaining, drainage, lifting, concrete and earthworks to be managed as one coordinated operation, with tight technical, environmental, logistical and quality interfaces.
What Cowran managed and delivered
- Retaining-wall construction package
- Drainage installation within the contracted scope
- Concrete placement and conformity records
- Drawing, RAMS and quality-record coordination
How delivery was controlled
- Integrated site planning across retaining, drainage and concrete works
- Concrete delivery and conformity evidence
- Drawing-led construction control
- Package-specific RAMS and records
Delivery outcome
The project record demonstrates Cowran's leadership of the retaining, drainage, concrete and associated earthworks package. Formal completion and client-acceptance claims will be added only when the relevant controlled close-out evidence is available.
