Smyth Street Retaining Wall Repair

Smyth Street is a one way street that takes traffic through onto Westgate in Wakefield city centre. Directly adjacent to Smyth Street is a retaining wall that retains a car park. Approx. 17.50m length of the wall is of mass concrete construction with brickwork facing and the remaining 27.5m length is solely comprised of brickwork. Due to vegetation growth behind the brickwork in certain areas the brickwork has had to be taken down for safety reasons and requires reconstruction works. A 7.35m length of the wall requires the construction of a mass concrete retaining wall and all associated components. The works comprise: · Preliminaries. · Traffic Management. · Site Clearance. · Demolition of concrete area (Ref: C1) on drawing No. BSE/SSRW/C/01. · Take down sections of existing pedestrian guardrail and set aside for re-use. · Removal of Vegetation. · Excavation works to allow for construction of mass concrete retaining wall. · Support of existing Amey street lighting duct. · Construction of proposed mass concrete retaining wall, including drainage works and backfill. · Construction of brickwork, including provision of ties. · Joint Installation. · Reinstatement of concrete area (Ref C2) on drawing No. BSE/SSRW/C/02. · Installation/re-use of kerbs. · Reinstatement of footway and cark park carriageway. · Installation of pedestrian guardrail.
