Civil Engineers and Transportation Consultants
Dauntsey’s School
Cole Easdon Consultants helped Dauntsey’s School in its redevelopment of former agricultural land to provide it with new parking areas, a pupil drop off/collection point for up to eight school coaches, a sports area for three football/rugby pitches, and a full size athletics track.
Dauntsey’s School like many similar establishments around the area, consists of the original school buildings onto which extensions for new classrooms, accommodation blocks etc have been added. Consequently, the original school drainage system became overloaded, and in particular, overwhelmed with surface water during storm conditions.
Cole Easdon therefore designed a new drainage system to separate foul and stormwater drainage for the school.
The cost of these works was around £1 million. Cole Easdon provided a full engineering design, project management, contract administration, site supervision and CDM co-ordination.
Cole Easdon's multi-disciplinary team helped the smooth running of this project and enabled swift action to overcome unforeseen factors on the project. By working in close liaison with the school staff, contractor and quantity surveyor, Cole Easdon ensured the project remained within the school's agreed budget. The removal of the risk of flooding to school property and adjacent land and the provision of additional capacity in the stormwater network allowed for future building expansion.

Northacre Resource Recovery Centre, Westbury, Wiltshire
Cole Easdon Consultants have been engaged by Interserve plc to deliver the civil engineering design for the Northacre resource recovery centre near Westbury, Wiltshire. This innovative centre will divert thousands of tonnes of waste away from landfill in the county’s first mechanical biological treatment plant (MBT).
The project is to be built for Hills Waste Solutions. Northacre will receive some 60,000 tonnes of municipal waste per annum from households in the west of the county. Sustainable drainage techniques for the site form part of the civil engineering design.
Cole Easdon had previously worked with Hills during the planning process, producing the Transport Assessment and Flood Risk Drainage Strategy for the new treatment plant.
The project continues Cole Easdon’s established experience in the minerals and waste sector. If you would like further details about this project, please contact either John Easdon at jeasdon@coleeasdon.com or Rob Bowley at rbowley@coleeasdon.com.

Weymouth College, Weymouth:
Transportation and Drainage Assessments for redevelopment of existing College building for residential and office uses including development of Travel Plan. Detail design of civil engineering infrastructure together with car park design and associated off-site traffic calming measures.
St Joseph’s Upper and Lower Schools, Swindon:
Transportation Appraisal for new school campus combining the two schools on one site and examining the redevelopment opportunities on the other. Safe Routes to School as well as a School Travel Plan for the school(s) was assessed, together with appropriate cycle/car parking provision, a new signal access junction and pedestrian/cycle crossing. Access options to serve the site to be redeveloped for housing were also engineered.
Consortium – Abbotswood, Romsey, Hampshire:
Transportation Assessment and Flood Risk Assessment/Drainage Strategy for new 800-dwelling residential development on outskirts of town incorporating integrated public transport solutions, and new 'Local Centre Facilities'. Included individual junction and corridor micro-simulation modelling. Concept design of all off site highway improvement works to HCC approval.
Westbury Homes – Shaftesbury, Dorset:
CEC designed the highways and drainage for this large residential development. The domestic drainage had to consider the proximity of the houses to the back of the adoptable footpaths. Various types of road drainage were used in the design, including central drainage channels. On-site surface water storage was increased through the enlargement of an existing pond.
Charles Church (Western) – Ruardean:
Despite its situation on a steep gradient, the design had to achieve Part M level access, particularly as some of the houses fronted directly onto an existing carriageway. Part of the drainage design utilized Stormcell for on-site attenuation in agreement with welsh Water.
Olympic White Water & Canoe Slalom Course, Broxbourne:
Preparing and agreeing scope for Transport Assessment for venue site for 2012 London Olympics. Prepared Transport Assessments for White Water Canoe Centre for both Olympic and legacy uses. Prepared Legal Order for necessary public footpath.
Bristol City FC / Bristol Rovers FC / Bristol RFC:
Transportation feasibility of three alternative sites for possible relocation of all clubs to a single site.
Transportation feasibility of nine alternative sites including a Transportation Assessment of the existing ground for possible redevelopment.
Diving Centre, Tidenham:
S278 detailed design and CDM Co-ordination input for major/minor priority junction into Diving Centre site, from the A48 Trunk Road near Chepstow.
