Current Hard Landscape Projects
Springvale Local Nature Reserve, Cwmbran - Environmental Improvements
This contract has been let by Torfaen County Borough Council to provide improved access into and through the Springvale Local Nature Reserve which runs alongside Greenmeadow Community Farm in Cwmbran. The works primarily involve the installation of a 400 metre long macadam footpath to replace the existing muddy track. The site is also abused by motorcycles and so we are installing kissing gates at each entrance along with infill fencing and blockstone boulders in an attempt to prevent them from gaining access. Oak waymarker signs will also be installed at various locations on the adjoining business park to direct the public into the somewhat hidden reserve.
Transporter Bridge, Newport - Footpath Improvement Works
This contract, awarded by Newport City Council is the second phase of the riverside walk which runs from the famous Transporter Bridge through to Corporation Road. The stonedust surfaced footpath is in excess of 600 metres in length and is being installed along the top of the flood defence bunds which have been formed from the river mud. Consequently access is extremely limited and difficult with all materials having to be imported from one end of the path only. A kissing gate and 170 metres of post and rail fencing is also being installed to protect path users from neighbouring industry and deep water.
Barrage Link Footpath, Cardiff Bay
This project for Cardiff Harbour Authority is to construct a link footpath from the Barrage Crest Walkway down to the edge of the Bay. This involves creating a stone bound pathway, an artificially lined pond fed by a 17m long pebble lined rill. A pump at the head of the rill will draw water from the bay and this water will be circulated via the pond using a wind assisted pump. Associated works include timber furniture, placing of several large feature rocks, ducting and the creation of planting beds.
Cowbridge Physic Garden Phase II
Following on from the completion of Phase I we have been employed to continue with Phase II. This will involve constructing a central pond feature, refurbishing the existing outbuildings, installation of water and electrical supplies, construction of a disabled access ramp. In addition the existing garden walls are to be refurbished using hydraulic lime mortar.
