NEW PROJECT: Larkbear Phase 2

We're delighted to announce that Champion Groundworks has secured a significant new contract at Larkbear, Barnstaple, delivering an extensive package of groundworks and infrastructure for Elan Homes and Persimmon Homes.

‍

The project brings together two substantial packages of work, combining site-wide infrastructure for the Elan and Persimmon joint venture with the groundworks for 141 new homes for Persimmon Homes.

‍

It's another fantastic opportunity for our team to put their skills and experience to work, delivering the essential infrastructure and foundations that make new communities possible.

‍

Delivering the infrastructure

‍

As Principal Contractor for the shared infrastructure works, Champion Groundworks will take responsibility for preparing the site and delivering the roads, drainage and essential services needed to support the wider development.

‍

Our scope includes:

‍

• Site-wide earthworks
• Construction of an acoustic bund
• 4,380m² of adopted spine road
• 1,780 linear metres of adopted sewers
• Construction of an attenuation basin to manage surface water
• Installation of an adopted pumping station
• Construction of a box culvert
• Formation of a hoggin footpath
• Installation of essential services

‍

These works form a vital part of the development, providing the infrastructure needed to support both housebuilders and help bring the wider scheme forward.

‍

Building the foundations for 141 new homes

‍

Alongside the shared infrastructure package, we've also secured a separate contract with Persimmon Homes to deliver the groundworks for 141 residential plots.

‍

This additional package includes:

‍

• Foundations and substructures for 141 homes
• A further 2,380m² of adopted roads
• An additional 590 linear metres of adopted drainage
• Driveways and external works
• Construction of retaining walls

‍

Together, these packages represent a substantial programme of work for our teams, from the initial earthworks and major infrastructure through to the detailed groundworks needed to get each individual plot ready for construction.

‍

Thank you to Persimmon Homes and Elan homes for entrusting us to deliver the infrastructure and foundations needed for this exciting new development.
