CIVIL ENGINEERING : UTILITIES : PIPELINE DRAINAGE

Duncan Ross Ltd has been involved with the Civil Engineering Industry for many years providing
support to the industry in association with all aspects of land drainage applications.

Recent Projects:-

Client: Manchester United Football Club
Project: Renewal of site outlet at Carrington Training Ground
Design: MUFC’s Consultants.


The site for Manchester United’s training ground was originally constructed with a drainage
outlet that was too small for requirements. In addition the pumping station was proving to also
be inadequate. The project involved replacing the original outlet with a larger, 1050mm diameter
outlet pipe approximately 500m long. The challenged face in this scenario was that work was
undertaken through a conservation area.


Client: M.S.C.C.
Project: Renewal of existing toe of embankment drains to canal affected by mining subsidence.
Design: Bridgewater Canal’s Engineers


Major challenges: Where supporting the unstable embankments, while excavating and backfilling
at the toe of the embankment, access to the work site. Works involved laying 300mm pipes and
backfilling with gravel in trenches lined with geo-textile. Work was successfully completed finding
solutions for unforseen problems on site as they developed.


Client: Barnfield Ltd
Project: Installation of large water supply for new hotel and leisure centre complex.


Project was completed on time and within budget.
