Wales (Cardiff, Swansea & Regional) · Wales
Copr Bay waterfront commercial quarters, Swansea University engineering estates, steep terraced South Wales refurbishments, and Gower Peninsula custom housing.
Substructure & Ground
Former anthracite mine workings, pennant sandstone gradients, and mandatory Welsh SuDS SAB drainage require rotary-percussive coal grouting allowances, gabion retaining walls, and attenuation ponds.
Envelope & Regs
Direct Bristol Channel Atlantic gales in severe exposure Zone 4 require breathable silicone through-colour renders, double-nailed Welsh heather-blue slate, and enhanced lead valley gutters.
Urban Prelims
Tight terraced hillside access in Uplands, Townhill, and Mumbles shapes grab-lorry spoil removal, pumped concrete boom reach, and scaffold bridging over public footways.
