The challenge

What had to be planned

  • Built around a live National Grid substation with deep power tunnels beneath
  • Negotiated with the neighbouring school on how certain elements would be built
  • Left a floor slab out and lowered levels so vehicles could reach the rear through a small undercroft
  • Agreed a timed lay-by on the red route with the highways authority, put in and taken out at set hours
