Context

Phi Group is working with Groundwork Services (Durham) Ltd on the £10m re-development of a former nuclear bunker site at Hexham.

Principal Contractor Esh Group will oversee the construction of a new Travelodge, Lidl food store and 250-space car park, bringing much need life and employment into the site, which has been vacant for 30 years.

Scope of work

Phi Group’s Leeds office is carrying out the design, supply and installation of a Textomur reinforced soil slope and Andacrib concrete crib retaining wall.

Products used

The Textomur reinforced soil slope is 50m long and retains up to 6.0m in height, and will provide a green face finish once vegetation establishes.

The Anadcrib concrete crib retaining wall is 105m long and retains up to 3.50m, and is a tough, durable solution with 120-year design life.
