Improving how we manage PPE
As part of our works on the M25 Junction 10 / A3 Wisely Interchange Improvement Scheme, to allow for the installation of a PortaDam and dewatering of the area to enable construction works, we were required to translocate an area of water lilies within a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
However, due to engineering challenges, the method of dewatering the area was changed from using a dam to installing a sheet pile wall. Revisiting the original mitigation hierarchy assessment for the works, our ecology expert was able to determine that the impact on the water lilies could now be avoided and that no translocation works were required – ultimately reducing costs and the time required to dewater the area.
