On site at Wavensmere’s new development site, Canalside South in Wolverhampton to carry out an extensive site investigation designed to confirm the underlying ground conditions and enable timely demolition and redevelopment of the former steel works / foundry site. The investigative works comprised 8 No Cable Percussive Boreholes with 8 no Rotary Follow on, 35 trial pits across the entire site and the advancement of trial trenches in the former foundry site to confirm the locations of the infilled canal basins.
“Wolverhampton Canalside South”Wavensmere Homes has submitted a full planning application to City of Wolverhampton Council for the proposed £150m residential-led Canalside South development. The 17.5-acre former industrial site is located within the city centre – moments from the transport interchange – and benefits from frontage onto the Wyrley & Essington Canal and the Wolverhampton Branch of the Birmingham Main Line Canal.
Over 530 high EPC-rated homes, seven acres of vibrant green space, and a range of commercial amenities are proposed to regenerate the site, which has lain derelict for 15 years. Designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects, the low-rise development plans emulate the surrounding conservation area and maximise the canalside setting. The scheme is also set to open up a new walkway to the city core, reducing the previous walk time by 20 minutes, and igniting investment into a commercial corridor.”
