PROJECT 2
Clayton, Bradford
06.08.18 - 17.08.18
DSWA Placement with Axis Walling
AT 25 metres, this residential garden retaining wall in Clayton, Bradford, requirds an entire rebuild. The top half of the wall has bulged out creating a dangerous overhang into the road. Traffic management required for this project.
The roots of recently felled trees were the cause of retaining wall's overhang. Weathering had also taken its toll on the stone.
The Clayton project required extra stone.
