Dorset Road, Vauxhall

Background:

The scheme was located to the rear of Dorset Road on a disused area of land formerly used for derelict garages.

Basement Construction (multiple properties):

4 No. two-storey, new build domestic dwellings, each formed with their own basement accommodation. Construction of basement created using a piled perimeter temporary works solution due to the constraints of the site and identification of contaminated ground, and nearby existing residential dwellings. Basement was then excavated to form the subterranean level, with a reinforced concrete retaining wall to form the inner walls, along with specialist waterproofing contractors providing a watertight basement construction.
