Bore trials on Cattle Market Road
Bristol City Council entered into a
conditional Sale Agreement with the University of Bristol for sale
of the Cattle Market Road site and a portion of the Temple Island
site for development of the University’s new Temple Quarter
Enterprise Campus. The sale is conditional on a number of issues
being resolved by BCC, including works on site in preparation of
future development; this includes demolition of the former sorting
office building and ground works.
During the preconstruction and enabling works phases, site trials
revealed the construction of the basement to the former sorting
office building to be more complex than could be envisaged, and is
further complicated by proximity to the Grade I listed Network Rail
station and floating harbour, affecting methodology for
removal.
The Council has been working in collaboration with the University
of Bristol to identify a more efficient solution to the site works
in order to minimise cost and risk to the Council. Site trials are
required to verify an alternative methodology to resolve the issues
around the existing basement, which could result in a more
efficient solution.
