A residential development is proposed at the site comprising thirty-six residential dwellings with private gardens, associated access roads, landscaped areas, pedestrian access, and a pumping station in the north of the site.  Cognition’s scope of works included…

• Obtaining all required licenses, permits and consents including CDM requirements, Materials Management Plan under DoWCoP, Mobile Plant Permit deployment, Remediation Implementation Plan, discharge consent and Verification Report upon completion of the works
• Site clearance, fly tipping and vegetation removal
• Groundwater control and environmental monitoring throughout the works
• Excavation, processing, remediation and treatment of made ground at the site to make it suitable for reuse onsite whenever possible and removal from site where onsite remediation was not possible
• Ground improvement including cement stabilisation to create the required development platform, improved road formations and pile mats

From the outset, Cognition differentiated ourselves by redesigning the approach to remediation to deliver significant improvements in cost and programme over the original design, proactive regulator negotiations to allow reuse of materials onsite (>95%) and early contractor involvement to help move the project forward.

We had a client visit earlier this week in preparation for demobilisation at the end of the week.  Elivia Homes were fully satisfied with the completed works and were extremely complimentary about Cognition’s performance throughout.  Specifically, they commented on the high levels of communication throughout the works, the quality of final product and the level of professionalism demonstrated by Cognition.  This was our first project with Elivia Homes and we look forward to moving onto the next project with them in July.  Here’s to a long and positive working relationship!

Well done to all the Cognition team involved.
