The projects involved a mixture of refurbishment & replacement new build housing over 7 sites. Goodson Associates provided the Civil, Structural & Highways design services from the initial bid stages as part of the Sustainable Communities for Leeds (sc4L) successful bid team, through to the completed construction. Projects also included elements of environmental & public realm improvements.

Construction Overview: The format of construction varied across the 7 sites from traditionally built 2 and 3 storey properties to new concrete framed residential blocks up to 6 storeys along with associated adopted highways & infrastructure works. Piled foundations, combined water drainage diversions & a complex drainage discharge solutions are just a few of the many challenges which resulted from these brownfield sites.
