Syke Lane, Dewsbury

Project: Plane out and reconstruction of Syke Lane Carriageway

Client: Kirklees Local Authority


Contract: Syke Lane road surfacing (S278 adoptable road)


Duration: 25 days (carriageway works)


Overview:

Plane-out and reconstruction of Syke Lane carriageway, including minor groundwork to replace old & damaged ironwork.

This was a hugely complicated programme of works involving the removal of 2200t of old asphalt on a project to replace the old and tired surface of Syke Lane in Dewsbury. Gully’s, Manholes and other various iron work needed replacing prior to commencing the pre-planned laying of a new binder and wearing course. The overall scheme was broken down into smaller sections of work removing the need for full road closure and giving our workforce a safer operational environment to work in. This was achieved through a complex traffic management scheme put in place to allow a continual flow of traffic throughout each day of roadworks. We machine laid a new course of AC20 Binder and 10mm SMA surface course over a successive 25-day period before finally applying new thermoplastic white linings and demarcation zones to the newly refurbished carriageway.


Summary:

Proactiveness and good communication between client and contractor helped to keep everything on programme. Project completion was successfully achieved within our client’s time and budget allocation.
