Scope of Works at Brunswick Road, Altrincham

You will note that the upper part of the shaft is supported by pre-driven steel sheet piles. This method was employed due to the anticipated unstable ground conditions within the top 9.00m depth of the shaft.

On completion the shaft was approx 20m deep and provided over 5,000m3 / 5million litres of storage capacity for storm water.
