Moorhead Group required specialist element design for a gabion retaining wall as an element of the permanent works at the proposed Unit 2 in Widnes, Gorsey Lane. The gabion wall had a retained height of 2m for a total length of 240m.
The site comprises a former manufacturing facility on 40 acres which has been demolished and site remediation works undertaken to provide an ‘oven ready’ strategic development site. The site is strategically located within 3.5 miles of Junction 7 of the M62, 5 miles from Junction 12 of the M56 and close to the access point onto the new Mersey Crossing, which links Runcorn and Widnes.
