Project: M54 - Junction 3 to 4 (Both Carriageways) | Client: Costain Ltd & AMEY | Duration: 12/01/2015 - 07/03/2015 | Suppliers: AJ Wilcock Holeformers, ACCUMIX, and Titan Plant Hire Ltd

Scope: Full Depth (280mm) bay replacements in PQ-X concrete.

Details:

GCEL was appointed to carry out 2862 m2 full depth concrete repair to both carriageways of M54 between junction 3 to 5. The scope of work includes removal of existing dowelled concrete bays and reinstating using PQX (High early strength concrete) overnight. The concrete bays (4m x 5m x 280mm) were saw cut into smaller section and lifted out using vacuum lift device attached to a wheeled excavator. Type 1 formation was inspected and replaced as required, new dowel bars were drilled and installed using EZ 210B SRA drill, reinforcement placed prior to reinstating using PQX concrete mixed on site, using a volumetric mixer. To accelerate curing of concrete, heated blankets were used. Between 3-5no. concrete bays were repaired on regular basis during weekdays between working hours 22:30 to 05:00 (next morning) and up to 24 bays were repaired on weekend shifts. The carriageways were successfully open to normal traffic at 06:00 AM every morning during the project duration.

RAF Valley - 2016

Project: RAF Valley - Runway Refurbishment | Client: Northstone and Whitemountain JV | Duration: Jul 2016 - Oct 2016 | Suppliers: Titan Plant Hire Ltd

Scope: Installation of Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC), Wet Lean Concrete (WLC), V Channel and Gatic Slot Drains.

Details:

Gill Civil Engineering Ltd (GCEL) was appointed to construct the airfield pavement works using pavement quality concrete (PQC) at RAF Valley on the Isle of Anglesey. GCEL laid 26,075 m2 of 260mm thick PQC and 150 mm thick Wet Lean Concrete, Gatic slot drain, surface V-Channel drainage, along with catch bit and outlet chambers.

A majority of the paving work was programmed to be completed during bolthole (4-week airfield shutdown period). In order to meet the requirement of the project, GCEL mobilised an onsite batching plant which would ensure continuous concrete supply to day and night shifts worked to meet the programme.
