Precast
Precast yard: St Marys, Isles Of Scilly
We produced heavy precast concrete armour units at a Cattedown facility, where each block was cast and then faired over to achieve a high‑quality finish. The units were transported by barge to the islands and installed below the waterline, positioned using cranes during tight tidal windows. Engineered to withstand tidal movement, wave impact and long‑term saltwater exposure, these precast elements reinforced harbour structures and formed a key part of the wider coastal protection works.
Ashburton Fish Farm – Ashburton
We supplied bespoke precast concrete units forming part of the site’s aquaculture and water‑treatment system. These fully submerged units served as fish‑rearing tanks, water‑circulation and filtration components, flow‑control chambers and structural bases and dividing walls, providing a durable, high‑performance solution for the fishery’s operational needs.
Groundworks | Structural Waterproofing
Padstow Harbour Hotel, Cornwall
DWCSL took on the challenge of delivering this 3 storey RC Frame including the groundworks. With basically no lay down space we spent a long time planning with the client at preconstruction phase to ensure we could hit their targets on time and within budget. Stunning development hidden in Padstow.
La Rosaire, Torquay
We delivered the full reinforced concrete works which entailed of forming the ground‑floor car park with residential apartments above. Our scope included all in‑situ RC elements, starting with the ground‑bearing concrete slab and progressing through the construction of the podium slab that supports the structure above. We completed all foundations, columns, walls and suspended slabs, and installed waterproofing to the foundation areas to ensure long‑term durability and performance. Delivered on a constrained site with the close proximity of a live railway, the project required strong control over sequencing, coordination and quality, and the completed structure showcases our capability in delivering multi‑storey reinforced concrete frames with precision and consistent high‑quality workmanship.
The Depot – Exeter
At The Depot – Exeter, our first project with MACE, we delivered the reinforced concrete works for a split‑level 530 mm‑thick podium slab on an extremely tight city‑centre site.
