Redrow Homes South East

Project Overview:

A large-scale infrastructure and groundworks project for a premium national housebuilder. Kingsheath Construction was selected by Redrow Homes South East to deliver the comprehensive groundworks and S278 works package for Monchelsea Park, a significant new community of 145 homes in Maidstone, Kent. The project involved a complex scope, including off-site drainage, major public highway works, and varied foundation solutions.

Delivering Critical Infrastructure for a Major Housing Scheme

Our team was responsible for the full scope of works to establish the essential infrastructure and foundations for this flagship residential development. The project required extensive logistical planning to manage off-site works and complex foundation requirements, showcasing our capability to deliver multifaceted projects for leading developers.

Key services delivered on this groundworks project include:

  • S278 Highway Works: Management and execution of major Section 278 works to create a new site entrance and alter the existing public highway, ensuring full compliance with local authority specifications.
  • Mixed Foundation Solutions: Construction of substructures for all 145 plots, using a combination of traditional trench-fill and specialist piled foundations to accommodate the variable ground conditions found across the site.
  • Roads, Sewers & Off-site Drainage: Installation of all private and adoptable roads and sewer systems, including a significant off-site drainage connection to serve the new development.
  • Attenuation and External Works: Implementation of a surface water attenuation system to manage runoff effectively, and completion of all hard and soft landscaping to create a high-quality finish for the new homes.

This project solidifies our reputation as a leading groundworks contractor in Maidstone, trusted to deliver complex, high-value contracts for the UK's most respected housebuilders.
